    ditto

    I was leery of the so called reptile expert already. Internet research puts him to shame.

    Whistling or "wheezing" isn't always a sign of an RI. Sometimes they get pieces of shed stuck in their nose and it makes funny sounds. Did you snake just shed or is he due for a shed?

    I would keep a close eye on him and if you notice any bubbling, mucous, or popping then go see a vet.
    Thank you. He's very soon going into shed. I was so nervous! By the way, he's yawned once or twice, I know that's common after feeding, but he hasn't eaten for 5 days!

    I'm going to buy different hides today so hopefully he'll be less stressed.

    Right now, I just replaced the cypress with some newpaper.
