I'm sorry Lori...I didn't want to undermind your abilities...I'm sure anything I tell you will just reinforce what you are already probably doing...but....just in case....this is what I would do..
The first snake needs an immediate course of antibiotics (baytril 10mg/kg) every other day for 4 shots....or at the very least 3. A topical ointment (teramycin, or neosporin) on the nose 3 times a day....I can't tell from the photo if anything is going on inside the mouth...possible debriding of stomititis cheese crusties...and any number of stomotitits swabs (anticeptic-diluted...peroxide....very diluted betadine....or that novasol(sp?) stuff....I have some in an unmarked bottle but never can remember the exact spelling lol) anyway.... I don't know what all other symptoms there are....breathing ok?
Second snake needs immediate rehydrating...soaking 24/7 in pedialyte (full strength) for up to 3 days ....just make sure he doesn't get cold. I know this sounds like a long soak....but if you have ever had one with mites and I know you have....they do it on their own sometimes so they can take it. Once rehydrated offer a small meal right away...if he refuses...tube feed. He is starved and needs nutrition asap....again....any other symptoms? breathing etc?
that thermal burn on his back....is that fresh or a scar? treat as needed with neosporin if it's fresh.
