It is possible that he has a respitory infection. This can be caused by many things, but low humidity is one of them. I would raise the humidity and raise the temps about 5 degrees. Do you see any mucous in his mouth? If you can hear him wheezing well, it may be advanced. I would recommend a vet visit, but raise the temps now until you can take him. Make sure you maintain the proper humidity and temps for you ball. Good luck.

>>I have a one year old ball python. And he seems to have problems breathign. He makes a wheezing sound when he breathes. And there sometimes short little wheezes. Or long drawn out wheezes I can hear quiet well. Hes been doing it for awhile. What would cause this? Is it bad? And can I fix him?
