    Its okay just take a deep breath. Pick up a can of Prevent-a-mite from Matt at www.mgreptiles.com and on the can it tells you what to do. Just make sure you follow the steps carefully.

    Ahh maybe but I would get that first and then see. Usually if they have an URI (upper respitory infection) they will breath with their mouth opwn but just give it a shot because I know when mine had mites it weezed but Im not saying that thats why yours is.

    If your snake is wheezing it should see a vet. I have never heard of mites causing a wheezing noise.. but I do know if your snake has a RI, the longer you wait to take it to the vet, the worse it'll be and harder to get rid of.
