First steps to treat possible RI/ wheezyness?

Hello guys!

I've never had any health issues with my collection and I *may* be over-reacting to nothing, but today my adult female cinnamon sounded a little "breathy" when I was changing her water... I decided to take some steps to head off further trouble (if there is anything going on) and want to know your thoughts on what I've done and what else I can do or what I should watch for.

She has been in a CB70 rack for about 2 years now. I had previously (over the summer) switched from newspaper to bedding that is a mixture of spaghnum moss and organic top soil. The switch was brought on by a recurring pesky mite issue that I decided to deal with via organic means (predatory mites)...The predatory mites need a moist substrate to do their work and keep them alive, so that prompted the change. Since the initial use of the mites, I've been spot-checking the substrate every week (2-3x a week) and removing waste plus any substrate immediately around it. I change water 2x a week and also "stir" the substrate around a little. The downside (or upside) of the substrate is that it keeps the humidity very high...~85% and that I could not do a complete change or risk removing all of the predatory mites.

I have been doing this same routine for all of my racks / tubs with no issues so far...and it has seemed to get rid of those pesky snake mites. Everyone, including her, have been eating, pooping, shedding, etc. with no issues and she is the first one to show any "wheezing".

That said, due to her wheezyness, I pulled out all her substrate, put her in a clean sanitized tub with a large water bowl and bumped up the heat in her rack ~3 degrees f. I misted some of her paper towels lightly to bring humidity up a little and have a humidity probe in her bin to get a reading. I plan on changing out her water daily (and disinfecting her bowl) and changing out her paper towels once soiled (checking daily).

Is there anything else you think I need to do or that I need to watch for? I am hoping to head this off before it gets worse and hopefully bring her back to normal without having to resort to meds.. I am researching to see if any local vets will see snakes just in case, but I'm pretty sure no one here has experience with them, so I'm hoping that won't be necessary.

Sounds like your on top of the important things when suspecting RI in your animals. I would suggest taking her in for evaluation sooner than later to the exotic vet. This way if it is a RI you've caught it early and it's easier to manage and treat. It's very important to identify any microorganisms quickly and that's best carried out at the vet. If your wrong, and it's not a RI you will be way ahead.
