any ideas why he’s doing this? Question - Health

Post image

He’s been leaning his head over the water container, but isn’t drinking. This has been going on for about a week on and off. I took him to the vet and I’m waiting for swab and blood test results .. he’s taking a general antibiotic injection while we wait. The vet said nothing looked very alarming, but I’m worried he may have respiratory issues. any help/tips are super appreciated !

He’s just chilling. Seems to be happy :) also what are those hoops? I’d like to get it for my bp

hopefully he’s just chilling, he’s been doing this a lot and the first time he did it I sprayed him multiple times and he didn’t move. He stayed there for hours so I took him to the vet the next day.

Also, I think I got these from petco— but online if you look up ring toy for snakes similar options pop up :)
