Whatever it is it just popped up with in the past couple of days .. r.I would be continuous wheezing right ? Or is just once in a while u hear it .. like I know one of my pastel he takes deep breaths sometimes and when I 1st heard it I thought it was a wheez but he was just taking deep breaths .. anyway can someone lmk what this is and how I need to fix it thanks

    It looks like a healing scrape.

    It will get better when they shed. :gj:

    Maybe the switch of her substrate from aspen to cypress cauee there's nothing in her tub forher to scrape on unless she was rubbing against the side or top of her tub

    my snakes get little marks like that when they're getting ready to shed. either way, doesnt look like something to worry about.

    Is there a gap at the top of the tub? I've had snakes (young snakes, very active snakes, males in breeding mode) try to stick their noses into the space if they think they can worm through, scuffing their snout exactly like that. More hides or rearranging current hides along with adjusting any possible spacing might help.
