Those are very common signs of an upper respiratory infection, or mouth rot. Get to a vet ASAP if you want your snake to live and get better. Poor thing.

Yes, something is very wrong...you have sever sympoms right now and you need to go get it taken care of. Go to a qualified vet and dont let them tell you it should be put down. You need to be picky on your reptile vet and ask them a lot of questions to trust their opinion. Just because a vet has a degree does not mean they know about your snake when they look at dogs and cats all day. Just get off here and find one though.

I don’t want to come down hard or sound harsh, but believe me when I tell you, to take your snake to the vet and a good reptile vet at that. A respiratory disease can kill a snake. Simple as that. Snake eats, so everything is okay? How many times have you not felt too good but managed to eat three meals each day? Again, I an not trying to be mean, but you came on here asking for advice. Not liking what you hear does not mean it is bad advice. I know vets are expensive, but that is one of the responsibilities you take on when you get any pet. They can’t just check in for help themselves. Your pet is suffering. Several people have advised you to see a vet. When Pelota and Eunectes tell you to do so, DO SO. And please let us know how it is doing. Most of the people on this forum care very deeply about all snakes, not just their own. We are kinda like extended family and we care a lot.
