Why is my bp wheezing?

So I just baught a new bp from a friend for 25 dollars. I noticed the first night when he arrived he was wheezing a little bit. I kind of shook it off and thought it was nothing but now he's doing it pretty much every single time he exhales. I know sometimes this is a sign of RI and I do NOT want a snake of mine to have RI (plus vet bills are extremley expensive for reptiles in my area). He has a heat lamp on him right now (don't have a uth yet, but it gets to be about 90 degrees on tha side for his hotspot and about 83 on the cool side). Im a little worried, help?

Oh and he just ate too.

Vet bills for reptiles are extremely expensive in all areas. :-/

If you suspect a RI it really should be checked out by a vet. Those things can kill.

You can check his nose for stuck shed and whatnot, but especially since you mentioned its gotten worse since you first noticed it I really doubt that's the issue.

maybe RI or mite in her nose.better go to vet.

First, I wouldn't buy a snake if I couldn't provide for it. Second, you really need to fix your husbandry. Heat lamps are not appropriate for BP. What's your humidity at? How are you measuring the temperature?

Humidity is at 60 percent.

I use a heat lamp but also have a UTH for belly heat. Your friend probably palmed it off on you knowing it was sick.
