As for the vet situation all the exotic vets in my area are pretty outdated... Meaning the information they have gotten was probably a REALLY long time ago. I've only kept snakes for 3 years and some of the stuff they said I even knew better about.

And by "still hearing" her at night I don't mean the whistling I mean I can just hear her moving about lol

She was heavily whistling Sunday night, I truly believe it's from stress. I haven't heard her since and have not handled her and will not handle her until she has a meal in her. I took her out for 1 minute to move her probe back into place from the thermostat and she seemed completely fine. I've been keeping the humidity and heat properly and just leaving her alone. I've put a towel over her tank so I cannot see her and she can't see me to limit any kind of stress possible. I can still hear her at night but she seems to be clear of whatever that was bothering her Sunday night.

Good idea putting the towel over the glass.. Sometimes I do the same and give mine a few days to crash hard. I think it helps them too..
The weight is great so i wouldnt worry at all.. As you said she does the winter fasting.. Lol.

Thank you for your help, I do appreciate it! leaving her alone for the rest of the month besides trying to feed her on the 20th is what I think is best for her right now. I've been hovering over her the last few months from worry, but I know the best thing I can do is just calm down and leave her be. Besides I think we honestly need a break from each other lol.

If thats the only choice i understand.. Im in a tuff area too..if you think there is a problem be confident and before you take it to that VET look into its mouth, check for mucous, listen for weezing ect.. That way you dont fall for outdated practices that might not be needed and actually cause stress and resistance to some antibiotic they give you for no reason lol.
