I would definitely wait until he sheds and then see if he continues to make the noise and have problems. If he still has problems after he sheds, then run him into the vet. Right now it may just be plugged skin in his nares.
Ok, good. Thanks.
Should I leave the temps up incase?

Yes leave temps up it can only help. If it is an RI sometimes high temps alone can help him beat it, It won't hurt. Usually when they do have an RI they will stay on the hot side full time.

Re: R.I. and shed?!
He just shed this morning from the tip of his lower jaw to the tip of his tail all in one piece, but from the tip of his nose to the nape of his neck on top the skin is still stuck for some reason so I still can't tell for sure. The good news is when I first took him out in his humid hide to get his shed I only heard a couple of quite clicks and then nothing of the sort.

Re: R.I. and shed?!
Karma was going crazy trying to het the shed off his head so I wrapped him in a warm, damp rag and re-warmed it everytime it got cold. After awhile I was easily able to roll the skin off the top of his head and his eye caps came with. It stck harder at his nose and not wanted to suffocate him with what was already rolled over his nose I had to pull on it a little and out came two little shed nose plugs which must've been causing the clicking sound and mouth breathing (hopefully) and I haven't heard the sound or seen him mouth breathing since since (knock on wood). I let him get the rest of the shed off. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...erzpetz/K1.jpghttp://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...erzpetz/K2.jpg
