    Does Bones have an RI?
    So for anyone who hasn't seen, I rescued an adult bp about 3 weeks ago. I brought her home and she was very skinny and had a bite on her lip. Since then she's taken 4 meals for me (every 5 days). I have her in a tub under my bed. Measuring my temps with an accurite indoor/outdoor thermometer, she's kept at 83 degrees with a 90 degree hotspot and the humidty hovers between 60 and 70 percent. I just fed her yesterday, and when i checked on her about 20 minutes ago she was asleep on the cool side of her tub and it almost sounded like she was snoring. Just a soft, high pitched wheeze every breath. I woke her up and it seemed like it stopped but i'm really worried. Is there anything else this could be or do I need to get to a vet for some antibiotics?

    Could it be she is getting ready to shed? They do make a wheezing noise when they are getting ready to shed:confusd:

    i've never heard that, but she shed a few days after i got her. although she has been putting on quite a bit of weight since i got her.

    Husbandry sounds good, so I can't see it being a RI. just keep an eye on her. Watch for open mouth breathing, and mucous coming from her nostrils, and mouth..Good luck :)
