    Wheezing in baby ball python

    I got my son a baby ball python at the reptile expo yesterday. This morning he was wheezing and looks like he has retractions when breathing. He was fine yesterday. Very active. No mucous. What do I do? Increase temp? Increase humidity? Does he need to go to the vet? Please help.

    Yes, bump up temps to simulate a fever, bump up humidity so his mucous stays moist and can be expelled more easily, and make a vet appointment.

    What is his enclosure like? Hot side, cool, side, humidity, etc?

    what does it sound like?

    when they breathe heavily and are considering to maybe hiss at you, basically all of them can make some sound.

    is there clicking or something that sounds like bubbles in there? rattling?
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.     If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    Where did you get him? What substrate is he on?
