    Concerned about RI potebtially- some advice for new owner please.
    ** Concerned about RI potentially.

    Hi guys and girls hope everyone is well. I noticed today 2 small white streaks on my terrarium glass which looked like saliva / mucus from Monty wandering around at night and sticking his face against the glass. I thought nothing of it as he has been acting normal, eating regularly every Saturday as scheduled with a strong feeding response. Last Saturday he also happily took his first weaner rat so I was very pleased about that.

    Today when handling he blew a small bubble which both myself and my wife noticed. When listening to him I cannot hear him wheezing at all in the terrarium but when handling he did make a noise but couldn't not differentiate if it was a bit of a hiss or wheezing. My wife obviously is very concerned and she's making me stress now as well which is why I decided to post.

    Could I please have some guidance and opinions? Can I provide any more information if you have questions?

    Thank you in advance

    Sounds like an RI to me...your snake should not be blowing bubbles & while it sounds like it's not real bad yet, it's much harder to treat once it is. Vet time.

    Agreed, a vet would be the best option here. Better to catch it early then when he is worse.
