i am super upset...i noticed that my yearling hogg island boa female is making a sort of "pfft" sound...



...she doesn't have any discharge coming from her nose, she has been eating & drinking normally...and seems to be herself...



could this be the beginnings of a respiratory infection?



i have a under tank heat pad & a lamp on her...and i put a humidity box in there to try to raise humidity...



i use aspen bedding, and i have a large plastic dog-dish for her water...



the humidity box is a sterilite container with a hole cut in it & the edges of the hole are wrapped in duct tape to prevent injury from the sharp edges... i put a small hand towel in the bottom that i soak in warm water to keep in humid & i put it on the warm side of her cage, as well as a hide on the cool side...



what should i do?



should i see if the humidity & heat works? or call the vet immediately?



i'm really worried, if i lost her i don't know what i would do...shes my baby girl



PLEASE HELP!
