high pitch sound from mouth....

wisema2297 Feb 01, 2006 07:35 PM

My male has just started making a weird high pitched whistling type sound occassionaly. I have never heard this before. I have never had a snake with any type of respiratory disorder in the past 12 years. Has anypne ever heard this before? It is not a weezing type sound and he doesn't open his mouth to breath. I inspected the inside of his mouth and found no mucous, no mouth rot. It did look as though he was missing one of the smaller front teeth near where his tounge flicks in and out. Could this space cause the whistling sound much like a kid who looses a tooth? It doesn't happen all the time and is so slight you have to be close to hear it.
