Hi everyone. First time in a forum about my ball python baby, Jeremiah.

Tonight I noticed that he was holding air in his throat - he seems to be breathing fine, I'm not hearing anything but for sometimes he'll make an occasional little puff - but I know he does that when he gets upset and he was being held by someone who stressed him out a bit. I took him from the situation and he
only made his little huff a couple more times. He's curious and seems to be his usual self. He ate about two weeks ago and I'll be feeding him tomorrow (was going to tonight but he takes a bit to settle sometimes).

I'm just hoping that it's him being annoyed. I looked in his mouth and it didn't seem any more slimy than it should be.

Pic below is his neck all puffed up. It isn't constant, he just swells it up... I guess? I've never seen it before tonight.
