    Snake making an odd noise?

    I just pulled my snake out and noticed that he is making this really subtle squeak noise. I know that sometimes if they have an RI they can make noises like that. But I checked his nostrils, no blockage and he is not foaming at the mouth. What could this be any ideas?

    Maybe an early stage of RI, not all stages are visual.
    What temps and humidity levels are you using?

    Temps on the cool side are between 83 and 85 and the hot side is usually about 89-92. Humidity is usually in between 50 and 60, every once in a while it will get down to 45 or so. I just took him out again and did not hear it. He has a pink belly and he is looking like he is in the very early stages of shedding. Although his eyes have not smoked out yet. So I am thinking that it is either his shed or substrate. He is not acting any different at all, still curious as ever. But I will keep an ear out and an eye out for some more symptoms. Thanks for the help. I am open to more.

    They do make sounds every now nd again. It is likely nothing keep an eye on him just to be sure. On a side note your cool side temps could be a touch lower.

    Unhappy Better safe than sorry

    I decided to make Scotch Vet appointment. He shed and had a bm. He is making a popping noise now and I am very worried. So that is why I decided to take him to the vet this friday, it was the earliest I could get him in. He is still not showing any physical signs but I would rather catch it early if it is an RI. I am going to feed him tomorrow. I cleaned his cage and put in new substrate. It is eco earth and it is a little damp, not damp enough if you squeeze it that water comes out put moist. Do you think this is a problem should I do something different? Thanks for any input.

    Squeaking sounds weird to me. RI's are more raspy, or just sound like breathing/hissing. You should not be able to hear your snake breathe. I would definitely open the snake's mouth and take a look. Look for sores, sticky mucus, puss, anything that looks out of the ordinary.
