Don't worry about the whistling....every single adult Carpet I've ever had did this. They just breathe a little differently than other snakes. Carpets are very hardy snakes.

ah ok thats good to hear, i was worried it might've been an RI.well im taking her to the vet tomorrow for a check up and then i'll continue with her QT.

a vet trip is always a good idea w/ a new snake but i too will atest to the whistling carpet thing... especially when they're nervous; i.e. when someone new is handling them.
post some pics!!

well i took her to the vet yesterday and she is perfectly healthy. even when i picked her up and handled her, she stopped hissing at me!! .i tried taking pics but i think my sis has decided to steal the camera for herself and give me the "idk where it is" speech.

she weighed 9.5 punds...like 227 grams if i remember.
