Expert Answer

Symptoms of pneumonia in pythons mainly include difficulty breathing, coughing, elevated body temperature, and loss of appetite. It is usually caused by bacterial or viral infection and affects the respiratory system, potentially causing breathing failure or death if severe.

Early diagnosis and treatment are key, and specific methods vary by individual. If the condition is not serious, treatment with antibiotics, supportive respiratory care, and fluid therapy can be used.
