Oh no; RI

Its something you have to be thinking about before getting a pet, is that can you provide for it.

I will not buy a snake unless i have everything setup and properly running.

Alot of people, including me, think they have everything under control and buy their first Ball Python or snake thinking everything is gonna be great... that is untill you find a website like this....

I was leery of the so called reptile expert already. Internet research puts him to shame.

I would say you don't need cypress mulch in a tub. The only reason you should use cypress mulch is if you are having humidity problems which you shouldn't in a tub.

Whistling or "wheezing" isn't always a sign of an RI. Sometimes they get pieces of shed stuck in their nose and it makes funny sounds. Did you snake just shed or is he due for a shed?

I would keep a close eye on him and if you notice any bubbling, mucous, or popping then go see a vet.

Thank you. He's very soon going into shed. I was so nervous! By the way, he's yawned once or twice, I know that's common after feeding, but he hasn't eaten for 5 days!

I'm going to buy different hides today so hopefully he'll be less stressed.

Right now, I just replaced the cypress with some newpaper.
