Ball python making occasional wheezing sound?
Hi, I'm new to this website so I'm sorry if this is posted in the wrong place or has already been asked, I just didn't find a question with the same circumstances as me. I can't rely on my gauges as they're cheap and ones I just bought at first to have. I do plan on buying reliable ones very soon though. On the warm side it says 81 degrees F. The other one says the humidity is 55%. They change all the time though. I try to mist it with warm water every other day because the substrate (coconut fiber zoomed stuff) looks a little dry now. He always has water too. He is a 10 month old russo leucistic ball python. I feed him live medium sized mice, as the breeder directed me to. He has a large hide over his UTH and leaves to hide behind on the cool side. His first shed with me was bad. It was very patchy and I had to assist him with it. It looked like he got most off the tip of his head though. This was about a month ago. I didn't notice any problems with his breathing before but I took him out today to take some pictures and I heard a wheezing sound. It was only when I was moving him around though. When he was sitting still on me, I couldn't hear the wheezing sound. I'd feel terrible if I was doing something wrong and I only want the best for him, but if possible I'd like to try some at home things before going to the vet because money is very tight. But if I need to I can. Thank you for any tips and I'll try to respond with any more questions but this site is really confusing to me at some times.. lol.
