    the only symptom is occasionally when she breaths it sounds like a whistle or a pfff kind of sound, no popping I pulled her lips down and I don't see any mucous, she shed about 3 weeks ago but I don't see any signs of her going into shed (yet)

    temps are 90 warm, 80 cool and humidity is usually at 65 (other than when she spills her water)

    any ideas as to if its just her going to shed or if its an RI?


    if it is an RI would it be a good idea to put her in the tank I have away from the other snakes?

    Thanks!
    Snakes often make noises - especially when they are being held or messed with - that emanate from the glottis and the nares. These are usually the expulsion of breath due to stress.

    Occasional situational whistling from the glottis is normal, and is a by-product of the shape of the glottis X the rush of air forced through it.
