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.

Cypress mulch is pretty good at holding humidity, so the skin problem shouldn't be from that. No worries, take any of your wording as you "uneducated."
Does or has the snake had any respiratory problems.. Mucus, bubbles or wheezing?

the only time i noticed anything is when i put him in the water, it seems like sometimes he may not be holding his breath or accidentally inhales water, and it kinda just sound like s tuffy nose, but it doesnt last, if i were to take him out right now, he wouldnt sniffle, and he hasnt been showing any other signs of a respiratory infection either, like the looking towards the ceiling or anything, i can check his mouth tomorrow to see if its goopy or anything because i know that is a sign of a respiratory

My first assumption is an infection. Obviously most people are going to take him straight to the vet but that is not always possible.
I would say, keep his enclosure clean. Soak him a few times a week and if there is no improvement soon and you can afford to take him to the vet, do it. Good luck!

Personally, I'd just keep a small or medium water bowl(for now) and not mist him. In the past when I caught RI in the beginning, I'd keep the snake as warm as possible, small/medium water bowl with a bit of water(replace small amount as needed) and that worked for me.. But that's my personal experience.

alright, well i can also take him to the petstore where i work/volunteer, we have shots we give to most of our snakes for respiratory infections and it normally clears it up pretty fast
