Hey. I'm new to this forum in general, and i'm not so new to snakes as a person. We already have a garter, and just got a BP this week given to us from someone who couldn't afford to take care of it. The bad thing is that we have very limited history on it, since it seemed like the snake had been a pass down through owners.

Before we got it, it had already ate a big meal and it is currently shedding. This morning when I was changing out the water, I noticed that when it breathes, it emits a little squeaking noise with every exhale. It's not loud, but very faint. It wasn't making that noise yesterday.

I've been reading around the internet for some causes as to why our BP is doing this, but I haven't been so great on finding accurate information or if it applies to our BP. I read somewhere that squeaking usually happens when they shed, but there isn't any dead shed skin by or around our BP's nose. Would they still squeak even if there isn't lose skin around their nose?

Could it possibly be RI? I read somewhere that BPs with RI will usually yawn on occasion. I haven't seen our BP yawn occasionally, but it has yawned once yesterday afternoon.

Hopefully this is the right place to post this, and if there is another topic that was already posted about this somewhere else, I apologize if I didn't get to read on that first before I posted this. Like I said, i'm pretty new here, there's lots of reading still need to be done!

Thank you for any advice given!
