I had a reticulated python that came in as a rescue not too long ago. She showed no signs of any problems, just the owner didn't want her any more. She was a bit underfed, but not to the point of concern. She has since bounced back, and is quite healthy. She's undergoing her first shed under my care, has the usual underbelly redness and has begun to "blue up" in the eyes... It's not nearly as blue as it should be, just prior to the actual shed, but still within it's beginning stages. This retic is give or take 4 months maybe. She was definitely a hatchling of the year previous.
I have noticed that she is wheezing ever so slightly. It's very minimal, but still there. I have kept an exceptionally careful eye on her, and she isn't showing any signs of a URI. She still acts normally; no head propping, no gaping mouth. I've opened her mouth a few times to take a look-see inside, and no mucus at all.
Any suggestions?
