am used to that sneezing, this is gurgly and asthmatic. he sounds like a 40 a day smoker :S
He sounds like he's having an asthma attack when he gets going, and is panting.
Nope, not due for a shed yet.
He's also rubbing his head on any edge or rough surface (not in a shed way). it's the same kinda thing as when i get a cold and get itchy eustation tubes (in ear).(duno if snakes have them).
What i could see in his mouth, it looked dark red. not being a vet i dunno if that makes a difference. His face looks a little swollen too. |

Mine make funny sneezy noises at me when they strike, fake strike, finish feeding, have a drink or they are in a dusty kinda area. Is his mouth open most of the time at all? |

is it due for a shed as i find when mine are ready they sneeze due to the skin in their nostrils drying out ready to come off.. |

(sorry to steal the thread)
Gobo sounds like he has very bad asthma, his breathing is all crackly and poppy, and he wouldn't eat his large mouse, so I gave him 2 fuzzies, which he ate very gingerly.
I took him to the vet last week, but he said his mouth is a good colour, and no discharge, so see how he goes.
I'm gonna call the vet again today and get him to check again, but am quite worried  |

is it like a wheezy breathing sound or does it happen when you go near him or interact with him? |

They often his and rattle their tail as a defense, he may see you as a threat. Is it a young corn snake? |

I think there is nothing to worry about.
Here is a topic about that!
