Heavy Breather?
Yang has been home for a bit now, and the youngest kid has claimed her as "her snake". Love to see them so involved, so that's great. She's been going into her tub and bringing her out for shorts bits of handling that last few days. All seems well. Yang is very alert and inquisitive, and likes to rest on the kid's head. When she's more active she seems to breathe heavily, as in makes noise. Now I've not dealt with an RI in a very long time so I'm a bit rusty here. As far as I can tell there are no signs. She's not popping, crackling, extending her neck, or resting with her head up. There is also no mucous, bubbles or other forms of discharge. Her previous keeper was not the best, as in tried to convince me she filled her water and she drank it all the next day. All her snakes were like that, but that's another story. Am I just being paranoid? Are some pythons heavy breathers when they move a lot, kind of like someone running if they are not used to it? These guys never got handled much and were tub slugs. Nora does the same, but not nearly as much. Pyrrha not at all, but she's happy just to hang out and not move a lot.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
