Mouth not closing/not eating? HELP

Hi, I am a young girl with a two year old corn snake named Dimitri. He has not been eating for a month now, (I feed frozen mice), and I have noticed that the left side of his mouth is not completely closed and strange breathing issues. It sounds as though something is popping and it is very strange. Please help!

It sounds like he might have a respiratory infection. He needs to see a vet that specializes in reptiles.

Sounds like an RI to me, they are pretty easy to treat, but would be best to go see a vet.

As posted above, this definitely sounds like RI. You should take your snake to the vet immediately!
Best wishes! Please keep us updated!

Everyone seems to agree with it being a RI, so we will try to get him to a vet this weekend! I will keep this updated with this and thank you all for the help!
