    How long have you had this snake? Is the snake due to shed?

    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough

    Re: umm..

    The reason I asked about shedding, is that sometimes a couple scales will cause a whistling similiar to a wheeze.

    If your snake is wheezing more than a couple times I would suggest going to a qualified herp vet to let him listen to the lungs to be sure.

    Respiratory Infection.
    If the wheezing worsens or it seems like a lot or mucous and/or bubbles form around the mouth get the snake to the herp vet ASAP.

    Re: umm..

    Does it only do it when it sees you? Like if you open the enclosure?

    Re: umm..

    i was just reading other articles and one said that she might be hissing at me when i handle her. shes never snapped or anything and i usually handle her for about 15mins to 30 mins a day. very docile snake and i cant tell if shes weezing or hissing.
