posted about my snake possibly having RI. My dad refused to take me to the vet until I was absolutely sure, so no vet yet. Currently, every once in a while, I'll hear a whistle come from his nose! He did this both before and after he was shed, and I was told it was some stuck piece of skin in his nostril. I think it might be because he doesn't do this all the time, is it best to wait and see if anymore symptoms of RI arise, because the vet is expensive and in this recession it might be best to make sure he's sick. This is the only out of the norm thing that he's been doing.
