    Re: A problem. Help.

    Usually squeeking is a sign of RI, it may be just early signs. I would not wait until the snake is open-mouthed gasping or drooling mucus before a vet trip. Caught early RI can easily be cured, but if you wait until she is refusing food, etc etc, it could be too advanced.
    Just my $0.02, but I'd take her in to the vet and get her on antibiotics. Perhaps raise the temps slightly, and make sure the cool side doesn't drop in temps to below 80F at least.

    Agreed. The more I sit and think about it the more I worry. I will end up taking her for radiology and care within the next couple of days.

    Re: A problem. Help.

    Hey, I just posted on a similar thread to this -- my experience with my baby BP sounds like this. She would make a chirping or clicking or squeaking noise, only once in awhile. Most often when I was handling her or while she was in shed.

    What I did to ease my mind was take her to the reptile vet for a normal base line checkup, it didn't cost much and she was in perfect health, so I figured her chirping was like a mini-hiss: i.e. irritation with me.

    So to help feel better it's always a good idea to have that initial vet check-up and to find a vet who's experienced with reptiles, get her on file with them, etc.

    Anyway that was my experience, mine hasn't made that noise in ages now that she's bigger and more confident. Which means less anxiety for me!

    And that was all she wrote. My little girl is completely healthy and it appears that her little noise was just her way of telling me to put her back in her comfortable home.

    Thanks everyone

    Ah, and soon my newest addition will be joining her! xD Nota bp, instead an Albino Kingsnake>.>
