    Wheezing

    I noticed last night that one of my normal females wheezed one time. I didn't think much of it but I held her again this morning and she was wheezing more. I checked around her mouth and nostrils for foam or fluid but didn't see any. Do you guys think it is the beginning of a respiratory infection?

    Re: Wheezing

    It could be the beginning or maybe its dust from the bedding that got in her nostrils. What bedding do you use?

    Re: Wheezing

    If it is the beginning of a respiratory infection, if it was my temps or humidity that caused it were fixed would the infection go away or would I have to take her to the vet?

    Some snakes wheeze a bit pre-shed.

    Well if it is the beginning it should go away if your temps stay how they are. And like the post on top of me says it could be because she's shedding.

    I am just going to take her to the vet in the morning just to be safe. Thanks for all of the help.
