weezing sounds

[TMScarface]

Hi, lately when I handle my ball python I've noticed weezing sounds coming from her, almost like she has a stuffy nose, but I don't hear it in her enclosure. Should I be worried?
Thanks

I should also mention she hasn't eaten in three weeks. The hot side is at 92 and the humidity is 60%

Anything that is different than normal is usually a cause for concern. Weezing can be a sign of RIs. You should find some videos online to teach you how to open her mouth so you can check.

P.S. take the snake to the Vets just to be safe

I agree it sound like an RI too. Snakes will go off feed with RIs as well.

Speaking of RIs, I just took in my new big female to the vet today for a very mild case. Me and my bf monitored her for a week straight (everyday we checked inside her mouth - saw bubbles and mucus which never improved even after bumping her temps up) so I got her in and she's going to be on a round of Baytril via injections/shots. I would check inside her mouth and see if you can see bubbles or mucus and go from there (great vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK0Uvln4lY0). A vet visit is always recommended as RIs can go downhill very fast.

On a other note: she could have some stuck shed which is making her make sounds, check her nostrils.
