In a 4x2 enclosure you have plenty of room for multiple hides. You could add a humid hide box she could use if needed and it's easier to offer this than keep an entire enclosure up to par during these winter months when humidity is a problem everywhere.
Also, check carefully for unshed skin. I mention this because it happened to my Dum several years ago. I heard wheezing when he breathed but no open mouth breathing or mucus was noticed. I thought the worse but luckily for him (and me) it turned out to be some unshed skin in the nostril area. I soaked him, removed the shed and he was good as new I find that soaking in warm/tepid water after sheds helps immensely during this time of year. Also, you can gently push up under the chin and look for mucus out the nostrils. This would be another sign of URI. ----- Ken Roshak BlackSwampSerpents@toast.net
