so is it a possibilty that he is just in shed and this weird noise is because of that? You know that part of shed when the eyes are so so grey-blue that they look blind? Well my other snake and him are on the same shed cycle and the other snake is now at the point that his eyes are clearing up but he hasnt shed yet. Could it be that this males shed is really just making that noise due to the shed being so close to coming off and maybe being so loose in the noseand mouth? I hope so, but i havent ever seen him do it before...plus the fact of him rubbing his face on the bowl and opening his mouth directly after the noise does truely have me worried. (Man, my hubby is goona kill me if there is no problem and I stopped the other snakes from being ordered yet.)

Here is what I have done for now. I went ahead and covered the entire top of the tank except for about enough room to put a heat lamp on the screen(yes hes still in it cuz he is the only one we cant get out and into a tub.) I got 2 extra heat lamps and put heat bulbs in, 2 lamps beacuse its pretty cold here right now. the temps are raising now, i figured if he gets to hot he'll go to the cool side right? If he does that I can get the water bowl out!
And guess what - it seems to have helped because I havent heard any noises anymore. I just walked over and he is breathing with his mouth closed, like normal. But still in water bowl. When Hubby wakes up, Ill get him to hold the tank lid up (It weighs about 30 pounds) and I will use the hook to get him out. I will put him in a tub and put it in another room ...So hows that till Monday??
