I just purchased a Ball Python from a private owner who climed to be afraid of him.(yea right) The guy we got him from had him with his setup complete with everything. When I got him home, he started actin g as if he was either trying to Regergetate or trying to breathe. He jerks his head up and opens his mouth. The guy told me he had not eaten in two weeks. When I got him home, I also put water i his bowl and he drank right away. I am afraid that he has Pnuemonia because I had a yellowhead Reticulated Pyhton die from it and I don't want the same to happen to this one. I do not have any background on the snake at all, so ANY INFORMATION would be greatly appreciated.
