    Its interesting yours is a cinnamon. I believe they are in the same locus. The glottis is seperate from the choan slit where it meets up with the nostrils. It's very interesting how they meet up. The glottis can hang out the side of the mouth when eating big prey. Since they are seperate if the mouth is held open and you hear no wheeze or not in the lungs and it only happens when the mouth is shut then it must be occurring in the upper jaw. Not saying your vet missed anything but black pastels and cinnamons as supers I believe have head issues commonly called duck bill. I think mine might have a slight deformity like a human having a deformed nasal septum. Causing a wheeze. I'll compare her face to one of my normals tonight.
    These are theories of mine. She has had a intermittent wheeze for a year now, but no other symptoms.
    Last night I held her for a hour not one wheeze.
    I examine her tonight and post a pic of her nose if it looks diff from other snakes.

    This is interesting. While listening for the wheeze, which is faint, I often have to hold my breath, because I myself have a slight wheeze when I breath. Yes, I have a slightly deviated septum. Could be something like that with him too. Just not sure why I never heard it from him before then. Could of course be that I didn't listen as much as I do now. Or could be that whatever structure is in the nose didn't develop to this extent yet while it was still a baby growing.
