Squeaking?
Alright. I'm a big worry wart, but I know that squeeking isn't good. Its not loud, but you can hear my baby ball python --i've had him for two weeks now-- make a small squeak when he breathes. He didn't do it before. And I mean my temps are correct. Hot spot 95, overall temp 80, and he actively goes from his hot spot to his cold spot. He eats every monday normally, without any trouble (takes him like two seconds to grab the mouse from me, so he still has an aggressive feeding response) and the humidity is 45% - 50%. Could this possibly be an RI? If so, why do you think he'd get one? He didn't sqeak when I got him two weeks ago, and I recieved him from a reliable breeder.

Re: Squeaking?
Sounds like Wheezing to me...
Make sure your temps are sound.
Could be the beginnings of an RI.

Re: Squeaking?
Hi,
Has he shed recently or is he due to shed? - that can also cause sounds by blocking their nostrils slightly.

Re: Squeaking?
I once heard my BP make a queaky noise when she was in shed and balled up very protectively, I dont know if it was a semi-hiss or if it was shed skin blocking her nostrils a little. That was the only time I have heard it. Im no expert but i would say get your snake checked out if it keeps up and is happening when he/she is not in shed.
