    Sixx has a little possible wheeze. it has been on and off for a while. he doesn't act different. it is usually when he is on my shoulders, when he is holding tight. it hasn't been a constant thing, but we tried to look in his mouth, but he doesn't wish to cooperate. he is all over the place. any suggestions or ideas???

    respiratory?
    Have you tried upping the temp?Also lower the humidity a little and see if that helps. How long has this been going on? I would take him to a vet as soon as possible!

    todd has the humidity at 40% and the temp at 85. he just lowered it. Sixx has done this for several months on and off. it is not a constant thing, just now and again, and mainly while he is holding tight i thought it was just that until reading the medical section, but i always believed it would be a constant...not just now and then....

    I've heard (read) that upping the hot side to around 90 can help a snake fight off an RI, but a vet visit should be scheduled ASAP because if it is an RI it can pass the point of no return relatively quickly...
