RI question

[JeffJ]

Hi all

I think my python, Tequila, might have RI.
I have noticed today he is opening his mouth more than usual, I can hear a clicking sound when he breathes, and I think that just under his jaw it might be abit swollen (maybe am being paranoid about this). Also, he hasn´t eaten he´s last 3 feeds but I haven´t been too worried because he hasnt lost any weight.
Anyways, I´ll get him to the vet for a check up just in case. However, he is going to start to shed anytime (already got dull skin and bluish eyes).

Should I wait til he finishes his shed before taking him to the vet?

opening his mouth is just a way they help get there skin on there head ready to peel for a shed. but the clicking is definitely a sign of RI i would get your BP to a vet as soon as you can for a check up. i would boost up the humidity a tad help him with that shed and then take him to the vet. up the temps a bit too. to help if it is RI. i wouldnt take him to the vet until the have shed as this is a stressful time for them being partially vision impaired. but if he looks like he is becoming rapidly worse i would forgo waiting for the shed and get him in ASAP.
