looking for help
hey all, new to this forum
writing to get some form of help, I'm a 2 snake owner,I have a 9yr old Cali King snake and a 5 yr old Corn snake.
just today I realised that my corn snake looked like shewas 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 thereisnt a reptile specialist anywhere near me. Help ?

Re: looking for help
thanks, I've cleaned her tank out,given her fresh water (which I literately had toput her into coz she dont seem to have energy to slither herself into her bowl) she livened up for about half an hour after she had a drink and then the whole gasping thing began again, I'm at my wits end

Re: looking for help
Mouth open and gasping for air usualy is a respiratory infection.
I would take your corn to a vet asap.

Re: looking for help
Whereabouts in the UK are you - one of us may know a reptiel vet that is near you.
