I immediately removed him and did the same thing with the heat pad,etc. I disinfected the whole room so that my other BP's don't get sick. Anyway, the next day I noticed that my Spider was not wheezing anymore, however when he would go by my ear, he would make this tiny little pop sound every once in awhile. That was 2 days ago. Today, and yesterday, he hasn't made not a single sound. He seems perfect and he has no bubbles/mucous in his mouth at all. He is eating,etc. However, he is still separated from the collection for the next couple weeks just to be sure. However, the normal, is wheezing worse however no popping. Mucous around her teeth and bubbles in back of throat. Ive been cleaning her throat/mouth with Q-Tips. Her whole body shed except for her head. We made sure that it wasn't shed stuck in her nose area making the wheezing sound. The shed on her head/neck area is VERY weird. Its all falling off! All her scales/colored scales are falling/flaking right off when we touch her. Her lips are getting dark purple in color. The left nostril seems to be plugged. She rubs that one side all over the tank. Wondering WTH is going on??? Any advice??? Im taking her to the vet next Monday. Just wondering if anyone has any input on what is going on? Thanks. =)Congratulations on the nice babies. They are beautiful.
    Sounds like RI is kicking in. I would bump up the heat ! You can wait till it gets bad and take them to the vet or you could take them to the vet now. Better safe then sorry.
