    when you hear that whistle....
    Heya,

    I am sure I am not the first one to have had this feeling.

    My Orange Ghost was entering her shed cycle so i bumbed her hummidity up and let it be in the high 60% sometime it was a bit higher and in the low 70% area,
    yesterday evening (she shed over the night :D ) when i had her out i started to hear the whistling sound when breathing..... ofc i was like "OH GOD NO, PLEASE DONT LET IT BE RI" and I am sure more people have had that feeling, and i was afraid of it being RI as i bumbed the hummidity.

    Well like I said in the lines above she shed during the night, so when i went to check on her this morning i found a nice complete shed but more important i didnt hear that whistle anymore!!!

    wich left me like "duh ofc, that was the whistle, her shed was already somewhat comming off round her mouth/nouse and the air flowing over it when she was breeding made that sound"

    I felt so stupid again, realy those 4 years i had to leave this hobby realy makes me stress about something i have experienced before already again and is making me feel like a newbie in this hobby again haha.

    But anyways, I thought lets share this experience as i am sure more people have had this or gonna encounter this to give them something to think about before they start stressing out it might be RI :)

    My Orange Ghost now after shed+poop weighs 706 grams her last shed was 9-20-14 back then she was 522 grams so she gained 184 grams in a monoth and a week.

    thanks for reading and i hope other people can use this and somewhat keep them selfs from stressing out when it might not be needed :D

    Yeah, I think we all have panicked over that at least once! They do tend to whistle before a shed, and sometimes afterwards if they get a bit stuck in the nose. I also have a few snakes (for some reason all the Australian-native pythons) who whistle/puff when they're excited or curious, which scared me at first... but considering they've been doing that for like 4-6 years now, I'm guessing they aren't sick. :P
