I have an 8 month old Boa c. constrictor that is going through her shed cycle and begun to wheeze a bit (mainly when you try to handle her). But what really worries me is for the first time i have seen a tiny bit of clear mucus in her nose and some open mout breathing. I have always used a temperature gradient of around 78 - 85 degrees so i do not suspect it is getting too cold. Right now i have the temp at 93 degrees to try and help her fight off the infection, and i am planning to only let id drop down to the low 80's tonignt. But I am not sure how many days to keep the temp. raised? Can anyone help me out? Also i have noticed slight clicking and wheezing with my boa constrictor and water snake in the past during shed cycle and symptoms quickly went away after shed. Has anyone else ever noticed such behavior?
