    Wheezing ball python
    Hello,
    I'm worried about my ball python.
    2 days ago right after he finished eating I noticed that he was wheezing with every breath he took. He wasn't doing this before eating, only after. And he wasn't opening his mouth or gaspiing for air, he was just wheezing while breathing, as if he couldn't breath. So, I put him back in his enclosure so he could rest, since he had just ate.
    Now today 2 days later, I took him out to check on him and he is not wheezing or making any kind of sounds at all while breathing. He seems fine right now, so should I still be concerned, or is he okay since it's not happening anymore? (For now anyways)
    For more info: He doesn't have any other symptoms of being sick. No mucus, bubbles, mouth opening ect. He never refuses a meal, and the only time he's lethargic is during the day (like all balls). My only concern is with the wheezing. I don't know if I should be worried still or not?

    I would bump his temp a degree or two and make sure he stays humid just to be safe. This time of year a lot of snakes get sick because most of our houses are cool (or even cold) and the air is very dry.
