Re: Am I handing him too much? Still wheezing :(

So STOP holding him and see how he behaves. Focus on good husbandry, and care. If he does not wheeze or show any symptoms when you are not handling him, then I would say that he is simply annoyed with you, and HISSING, not wheezing. Pythons HISS to send a signal they are aggravated and want to be left alone. Godzilla, my big girl HISSES sometimes when I pick up her hide. She is simply letting me know that she is NOT in the mood to be handled and wants to be left alone. it sounds just like a snake hiss... HISSSSS!!!
Just my 2 cents, whatever it is, I hope your snake is ok, and I hope you calm down and relieve your anxiety somehow. (I have bipolar disorder and have dealt with extreme anxiety myself and it sucks!) GOOD LUCK! 
I really don't think its a hiss.. Even today when I fed May, I heard a bit of a hiss. Genos hissed before. I've seen videos of snakes hissing. I don't think so. I'm sorry, I am freaking out I just want to make sure he'll be ok, but I understand you guys can't give me a for sure answer I'm sorry. I know I need to stop handling him. It sounds like a human wheeze.. Almost clicks go with it? I just didnt know how to properly look for signs of stress, I guess. I honestly thought he was fine though! I do have bad anxiety, ive kinda been freaking out. I'm sorry. I do need to try to calm down, but this whole thing is so much! I know most people are really into ball pythons because they're cool (not all! But some) and they just breed them. And when the snakes die, they dont really care. I have a pit bull puppy, cutest little thing, but I honestly... And I know this sounds horrible.. But I think I love geno.. Way more. Just trying to make you understand why this is so much lol. Hes not just "another snake". To me at least. Maybe thats why I handle him so much. I love that little turd. Ahh getting emotional again I'm not sure if I can make the drive tomorrow. But I actually think I'm off Wednesday! Sorry for the stupid questions. I just turned his light off for the night and he's balled up in this warm hide
