    Paranoid looking for answers please. RI or water??

    Ok so my little boy urinated today and was all wet with it he got under the newspaper. So I put him in a little warm water to wash it off him while I cleaned his tub. Nothing abnormal when I took him out of the tub. After I cleaned it I took him out of the water he was in it for about 5 mins. I dried him off and was holding him and heard some whistling. Saw his nose was a little wet from the water so I wiped it off. Put him back in his tub and was watching him and he opened his mouth didn't see any bubbles or mucus. Opened the tub again and listened for about 5 mins and didn't hear anything. I think it might have just been a little water that got in his nose. I just would like the piece of mind that others have heard this from their snakes sometimes.

    About him and enclosure:
    2011
    349 grams
    feeds on about a 25 to 30 gram mouse every Friday
    never skipped a meal
    In a 12qt tub
    hot side at 90 to 92
    cool side at 78 to 80
    humidity at 60 to 65%

    I want to thank everyone for feedback.

    I'm not sure about what it was it could have been water I think u would probably here it more than once if it was something other than the water but something I have learned from here is the snake should be eating mice/rats that are 15 percent of it's body weight so he should be eating something around 50 grams

    Yes I have been doing about 10 to 15% with them. He just got above 300 the last couple weeks. And yes I figured that it might be the water too but I guess I just needed another person to say that it might be it to calm my nerves a bit. I check on the 3 to 4 times a day and that's the first I heard it.
