The old skin is probably causing the whistling then. It makes their nostrils smaller so you can hear the air whistle through them

Mine does that if I put him in shallow tub of water to clean him up a little. It's water getting in his nose area. It's not stress because he seems to loves the water but I do sometimes I hear that noise.

Very old thread, I know, but my Jörmungandr had a bad shed a few months ago and his right nostril seems to be clogged. I've kept his tank at optimum humidity, tried warming his water a bit, too see if that helped, even sat with him in front of a space heater and tried humidity that way. His most recent shed was really good, but I'm still a very worried mommy. Any advice would be very appreciated, I don't live really close to a herpetologist certified vet, so if I can fix it at home, that would be great. Thank you very much.
