For the last 2-3 months or so, my 7 year old bp has been showing possible signs of an RI. His "symptom" is that he has been whistling and clicking a little bit. The vast majority of these noises are very quiet, and I have to have his head close to my ear to hear them at all. They don't really sound like hisses, but I'm not totally sure. My temps are good, the humidity stays around 20 percent without misting, but I mist multiple times a day because I am home all day, and he has a humid mossy hide that he uses. He has shed once during the time that I have heard these noises. He is eating like an absoloute pig, and does not show any other signs of an RI. Does anyone else think he has one? I would rather be safe that sorry.

My other question is, if it is reccomended I take him to the vet, what would it cost to get a bacteria culture ( is that what the test for RI's are?) and get "him" sexed, because I received him from my cousin and he did not know the sex.

On another partially related note: I was at the Washington Pa reptile show on Saturday, and they were auctioning off a albino BP. It was about 20 degrees outside, and it was MAYBE 65 inside. This BP was sitting pretty close to the door and probably caught alot of drafts from outside. There did not appear to be a heat source of any kind for him. This was only a 1 day show, but couldn't he get a RI from that?

Sorry for the long post
