Question about WC corn.

Snake_Master May 26, 2006 11:04 AM

Yesterday, I went out night cruising here in North Alabama for corns, well anyways I found a huge 4 1/2 foot male. This was a pretty exicting find considering corns are extremly rare where I live. Anways, He making a whistling noise , only when I pick him up or bother him, like he cant breath? j/w could this be respiratory infection? I have noticed a few black kings, black racers like this also this year. Thanks alot..

Could be a number of things. Sometimes my wc black rat will give a practically inaudible hiss. Could you be mistaking this for an ri? Could also be a piece of stuck shed in the nasal passage. Could be a number of things!

I know its not a hiss or anything, I believe its RI because of the weather pattarn here, Like I have stated, I have caught a number of snakes latly like this, like a whistling noise, Im gonna hang on to this corn and find out, he hasnt done it latley that I know of.
