Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

It sounds like he has a serious RTI, he needs to be seen by a vet, ASAP.

Respiratory tract infection.
Until you can get him to the vet, I would recommend raising the heat and humidity a bit in his enclosure, that sometimes helps. If you have any other snakes, you are going to want to make sure he is quarantined as well.

Yes. Different infections require different antibiotics.

One point to consider - since GTS are normally in humid environments, I wouldn't just blindly promote increasing the humidity...it could worsen the problem. Jacob, what are the temps and humidity in its enclosure? what are you using for substrate? what type of heat source? How long has it had these symptoms?

AH, good point Harald. Consider I was posting at 4 am on very little sleep, lol.
This gentleman also told me thru PM (that I just received now) that he has white chunky stuff in his mouth. (the snake, not the guy, lol)....I think a vet call is in order ASAP.

I agree - you should make the appt and get the snake seen. the white chunky stuff is most likely casseation from stomatitis (mouth rot). This is often a secondary infection (or symptom of infection). Combined with the way you said the snake sounds it means that it is time to seek medical intervention

BUT - you should still be prepared to answer all the questions I asked earlier, because you will hear most of them again
