    Helpppp!
    One of my ball pythons is making a weird noise through her nostrils. She is making a faint whistle noise when she breathes in. is something in there or is it a sign of RI? She did this about 2 weeks ago too but it went away but now i am hearing it again.

    Could just be a bit of stuck shed/loose skin inside her nose. Keep a close eye on her for any new symptoms, like bubbles/mucus. Might bump your heat up a little, like around 94. (hot side)

    Here are some other symptoms of a Respiratory Infection to check for:
    -Wheezing, popping, or gurgling when breathing. It will sound almost the same as a person with Bronchitis.
    -Bubbles or mucus in and/or around the mouth or nostrils.
    -Stargazing.The snake will keep it's head elevated for long periods of time to try and keep it's airway clear.
    -Excessive yawning and face rubbing. The snake will yawn frequently and/or rub it's face around the enclosure to clear mucus from it's airway, mouth and nostrils.
    -Look for dried mucus around the enclosure and on the furnishings in the enclosure.

    Hopefully it is just a piece of stuck skin, as the others have said. Good Luck!!

    so far i have not seen any other symptoms of RI and wheezing noise seems to have gone away. I am praying that it is stuck shed and nothing worse :please:
