and hopefully my last...

Anyways, I was wondering if there's anything other than an RI that can cause a BP to make a clicking sound. I've been noticing it for about a week when I have him out. It seems like it might be intermittent, because after a few days of noticing it I started listening for it every time I take him out and there's been times when I don't here it for a solid few minutes after I take him out, then it will start up.

I've been watching him pretty closely and there hasn't been any wheezing, no mucus bubbles around his nostrils or his mouth, he's been eating really well with a great feeding response.. I also have not seen him star-gazing or sitting with his head elevated, - other than when he climbs the sides of his tank and then slides back down. Starting to feel quite worried about it, and if it doesn't let up soon I'm probably going to take him to a vet. The only difficult thing is that I live in a small town without it's own vet. The nearest city to me (2.5 hours away) has a by-law banning the ownership of BPs, so although there's a vet who appears to be a reptile vet, I'm not sure how much they'll be able to help. I will of course try if things don't seem to improve.

I just wanted to check and see if anything else can cause the noise.. I know that stuck shed can sometimes cause the whistling sounds associated with RIs, but haven't heard anything about if it can cause the popping noise. I know for a fact that his last shed wasn't that great - when we got him there were a few pieces of shed in the container with him as well as there being stuck shed on his tail, and a few stuck scales here and there on his body.

Thanks for any help or advice... I hope he's alright = /
