Sure the others will jump in here, the lack of thermopstat and filthy viv certainly a concern, with snakes only having one lung and susceptable to lung problems spraying air fresherner in a very bad idea. I'd take him/her to Vet asap and get health check. |

| i'm thinking more towards an RI (Respiratory Infection), a trip to the vet certainly wouldn't hurt as antibiotics may be needed... |
