Ball Python Wheezing?

[Natail]

My ball python (1 year 2 months old) has been making whistle/wheeze sounds for the past week and a half.

I noticed this after he finished shedding. I've never heard whistle/wheezing sounds from him in the past.
This is his 3rd time shedding in my care, I got him end of march this year. BUT, this is the first time where his shed was a mess. It was broken apart- he had problems getting it off. But eventually most of it got off but some small pieces are still on his neck/head. I've check his eyes and nose and they weren't blocked. I thought it might've been the reason for the whistle. As I inspected him, seeing if i could help him get some of the shed off, I realized he was doing the whistl/wheeze sounds.

I read that wheezing can occure during shed, so I let him be for a few days. after those few days, I tried to listen for the wheezing sound as he was in his tank, i couldnt hear anything. (I think). but as I picked him up, it started again. (Is that maybe the case?) I also read it could've been the temperature being too cold. It's been getting colder here for the past few weeks. So I got out my CHE and plopped it over his tank. I didn't use it in the summer cuz it was really hot the past few months.
Few days later it was time for him to eat, I feed him live at the moment (trying to convert him to frozen, any tips are welcome). he had no problems eating.

Come today, it's been 3 days since I fed him, and I picked him up and started to hear the wheezing again. It sounds like little whistles when he breathes out.

His tank humidity is on 60%. The cold side is 25c and the warm side is 32c. I have a heating pad and a CHE on the hot side, regulated by an exo terra thermostat (with pulse proportion)

I saw no signs of RI beisdes some whistle/wheezing. His nose isn't blocked by shed (as far as I can tell). No discharge, weight loss or any of the other RI symptoms that I could find.

Suggestions of what I can do? SHould I bring him to the vet?

Also, he still has some small pieces of stuck shed on him, his head and neck a bit. How can I help get it off? I doubt a water bath will work, it will really stress him out and I doubt his head/neck will be in the water anyways. Should I just leave it? It's causing no harm that I can tell.

Aslo, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this... Oops.

When it occurs after shedding it is often due to stuck shed which is obviously something you struggle with, rather than bathing your snake which is stressful, use a warm damp towel and let the snake slither through it and rub his face.

If it does not come off this time around make sure you provide PROPER husbandry next time around to allow your snake to shed properly.

I would have said exactly what Deb said. This was easier. Sooo...ditto.

Are you seeing any bubbles or anything else that would signal a respitory issue?

It sounds like she’s breathing heavier when you handle her which is common. Could be stuck shed you aren’t seeing. What substrate do you use ? Does she try to dig or nose around ?
