*Reason for posting* I realize there are lots of RI threads but at my risk of sounding ignorant I don't know what people mean by weezing, my snake makes a whistle type sound and I am not sure if that is considered weezing(Better safe than sorry).


I recently adopted a 2.5 year old BP a few days ago, I took him out today to do a closer inspection of him and he seems to be whistling when he exhales sometimes, its not every breath but it happens at least every minute or so.

He just shed <1 week ago so I also considered it could possibly be some stuck shed on his head because it seems to look odd colors in bright light(I can possibly get a picture if it would help).
Doesn't seem to be making any other sounds like popping(Held him near my ear for about 5 minutes).
And I don't see any secretions coming off his face.

Also he sometimes looks straight up for about 30 seconds, very random in my eyes but is that normal?
How often should healthy snakes yawn, I read that was another sign of RI. Ive personally seen him yawn 3 times since I got him but at the time didn't think to look for mucus because I hadn't heard the whistle breathing yet.

Sorry if I seem a bit frazzled, hes just such a sweet little guy I don't want him to get seriously ill.

On another note how much do regular snake vet check ups/sexing cost? I'm curious to find out (his/her) true sex and I don't feel comfortable doing it myself for the snakes sake and I'd like to have an expert examine it as far as health goes.
