just today I realised that my corn snake looked like she was gasping for air, she isn't interested in food and isn't very lively at all. worried that she might be dieing :( and to cap it all off there isn't a reptile specialist anywhere near me. Help ?

Can you please fill us in on cage temps, substrate used, is she drinking water?

Photos would be of great help.

How old is your corn snake? How are you housing her? Like Wayne said, we need temps, substrate, water, any info you can give us. How long has she been "gasping" for air? When did she last eat? Any info will help us get a better picture of what's going on. Photos are good too.

I don't know snakes but it sounds like an infection of some kind
