    Is this RI
    Hi everyone.

    I have a lavender female. She is 500 gram . She eats normal and act normal all the time. I kept her in the freedom breeder rack system.

    Today, when I was holding her, she was moving around and every few mins, I will hear a "click" sound, very very light. I need to be in a room has no any noise to hear that.

    I was so worried and check her mouth and find no fluid. And I try to feel her breath, normal. The once a while there is a very light " click" made from her. Feels like made from your mouth, I mean inside.

    What is this? Is this RI? Should I call my vet?

    Any help will be appreciated. I am a bit upset that I care my animals so much and take such a good care of them but they still get sick.

    All my other animals just ate last night. I don't want to handle them to check if they have the same " click" noise

    SIGH !

    I've heard that too, its really light sounding click right? and it only seems to be when they move?

    I've heard that on my hatchlings but not my adults, but there seems to be no sign of infection. And they eat/shed/poop/drink regularly and seem to be in great health so it hasn't worried me at all yet.

    Yes it is !! Very light. I don't even know where it comes from.

    I'd say monitor them closely for signs of an infection, but an infection would most likely make the noise when they breathe and hopefully would be really obvious.

    I'd like for someone else to chime in on this as I'm not worried about it right now cause the snakes I've heard it from are quite healthy but it would be nice to know what it is.

    Ya. It will be nice to know. I removed her outside of my snake room, and I really want to make sure what it is and move her back. Poor girl.

    Thanks again devildog_dk I felt better after read your post and I think I can go sleep now.
