Went to the local Petsmart today looking for a 30 gallon screen lid, which they did not have. They did have a lovely little pied ball python though, and my fiance loved her, and when my not-so-snakey fiance says "Hey we should get this snake," you've gotta jump on that, right?
Got her home and set her up in a QT 10 gallon with UTH in our bedroom, three floors away from my other reptiles. Simple wooden hides, aspen and a small water bowl. My fiance was holding her while I set her viv up and noticed that she whistles occasionally when she breathes. It's not frequent and she isn't laboring to breathe. She has some shed stuck around her head and face and I thought at the store it was likely because the viv was so dry. I put a humid hide with damp moss into her viv for her if she'd like to use it.
Do you think this is a RI? I have a reptile vet and will take her if need be, but I do not want to stress her unnecessarily. Should I wait, watch and worry? I got her full feeding record and she has been eating well roughly every week, with very few skipped meals when she was in blue. We are pretty excited to have her, and at a very good price, so I want her to do well.
