Re: Keep hearing my bp click
Just make sure to keep a close eye on it. Mine clicked off and on for about a month before I saw any bubbles or mucous, so that one was definitely an RI.
Sometimes some retained shed can get stuck there and cause a click or wheeze. If it doesn't go away after a few weeks, after a shed, or seems to get worse, I'd definitely suggest scheduling a vet visit. The peace of mind alone is worth it, heh.
http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...light=clicking and http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...light=clicking have good info about signs of an RI, and other things clicking could mean. If you want to see any other answers people have gotten, you can just plug "clicking" into the search feature of the site. The search was invaluable when I was trying to narrow down what was up with mine .

Re: Keep hearing my bp click
Hi,
Can you try and listen to his breathing at the head end and around the lung area?
It's a tricky thing to do but a click from the nose might be stuck shed or even the result of being in a shed cycle but noised like pops, clicks etc from the lung area is pretty much going to be an RI thats dug deep.
Are you looking inside his mouth to check for extra mucus or slight redening?
Are there any signs of mucus in the waterbowl or smeared on cage furniture?
