    Second guessing an RI

    Once in a while my boa spuds like it is wheezing. But it's mouth is closed. I looked in her mouth yesterday when she was doing her while back off I am angry thing to me and it looked clear to me. How often will a boa wheeze when an RI is present?

    Ok I read something else. She isn't too active lately. I bumped the temps in case of RI and she just chills on the side that's right around 90-91. She really isn't moving much but like I said, I didn't see mucus in her mouth and she only wheezes every once in a while but I am beginning to think that is her puffing or hissing at me with a closed mouth. She isn't used to me yet so I am not sure if this is normal or not.

    Has she been to a vet? Did they tell you she has an RI? Or are you thinking that's what's going on? My boa has never grumped at me, so I'm not sure. When my one ball hisses, its always through a closed mouth.

    Well if you remember I was supposed to go to the vet but they friggin canceled on me. So now I am wondering if she even has an RI. She's been a grump since I got her. But shes not active at all she just sits on her warms side and chills all day. I dunno what's going on with her. Her next vet visit is supposed to be thursday at 10 am so we will see then for sure.

    That's all my dude does is hang out most of the time. He's not extremely active in his home. He gets busy when he gets out.

    She does the same but then she goes all "Don't touch me I'm having PMSS" (pre menstral snake syndrome) and opens her mouth at me and my wife. I'm gonna clean her cage and maybe rearrange it and see what that does.

    I wouldn't rearrange her cage. I would just keep working with her. When she gets all pissy, don't put her back.
