Well, the throat puffing seemed to subside or be so minimal I can't really notice it today. I've increased humidity and added a larger water bowl where it could fully submerse. It's totally in the blue today so I expect a shed in a few days. Hope it comes off in one piece and without any issues.

The blue eyes don't show in the pic for some reason, but you get the point.

Last night, this morning and today after work I noticed it keeping its head help up looking at the sky so to speak. The throat puffing is back too.

Any thoughts on this behavior?

Classic respiratory infection behavior. I would get her checked out.

Having trouble finding a vet that will treat venomous. I've been reading about using a digger with f10sc veterinary disinfectant. I'll have to order it bc no stores have it.

You shouldn't have to bring the animal in. Perhaps offer to share a youtube video of the snake's symptoms? Respiratory infection medicine is inexpensive. If the vet is willing to trust your diagnosis, especially given they don't want to see a venomous animal in person, they should be able to give you a prescription.

Meant fogger...my phone autocorrected to digger. I'll call my vet again tomorrow and see what he has to say about the video diagnosis. He's a good guy and I take my 5 dogs there for years.

Went to my vets office today to pick up medication for my dog. Only the associate vet was there and he does not desk with herps. The owner does and is the only one who can make the decision to treat or not to treat the snake. They said more than likely he will send me home with a culture swab kit, have me tube the snake and swab its saliva and then bring it to them for a culture. Then he will give me the proper medication to treat the snake at home. I'll be getting an answer on Monday. Better response then talking to the office staff on the phone earlier in the week.

Vet called me back and has a culture kit ready for me to pick up. I'll be getting the cultured saliva back to the vet by Friday or Saturday depending on when I'm done with work. On a side note Enyo are a fr adult mouse about 30 minutes ago. I'm happy about that.
