    question on breathing

    So i am sitting here watching Charlie, my baby BP, and he goes through periods of really fast breathing. it slows down but then goes really fast again, should i be worried?

    Mine do that when they get excited. Like when my kid runs up to me when I'm holding my BP and the snake will start breathing heavy for a few moments.

    As long as he is breathing without being shallow or wheezing, it is alllllll good.

    My BP's breathing has always looked really erratic to me. It gets faster at times like during handling too. It kind of freaked me out at first but after several months I figured its just how they do....
