concerned?

that's some serious stuff...her temperatures are perfect though, and she just ate this past Sunday....could it have anything to do with that?

So you got all the temps fixed since you posted this 4 days ago? I'm actually asking as I can't find the other thread just now.

Our setup right now averages around 80 F on the warm side everyday, but drops to around 65-70 F at night!

Your snake has been exposed to a LOT of low temps lately duder. It's quite likely this could indeed lead to her getting a respiratory infection. Not certain by any means - but possible.

Main question is - is she doing it all the time?

Some snakes hiss ocasionally but if its with every breath then it might be either the shed skin thing (though I don't remember you mentioning her shedding - did the person you got her from say when she last shed?) or the start of an infection.

If it is an infection it's going to need vet treatment as it will not get better on its own. And while she is recuperating she will definately need the right temperature range.

Hope its nothing serious dude.
