help my boas panting

jpcons Sep 12, 2006 06:19 AM

I have a female albino 1 1/2 years old about 3-4 foot.She seems to be breathing kinda of heavy.She was fed saturday.It looks almost like a dog when they finish running around.It almost looks like she is taking a lot of short breaths.The temps and humiditiy are right were they should be 92 hot spot ambient temp of 85 cool side 82.She has no signs of mucas or has not done the yawning thing.She moves around fine very attentive she eats and sheds fine.I don't know if its just digesting or if its just more pronouced because its a albino.I am briging it to the vet today but just not sure.Any one ever notice this in there snakes or any input would be appriciated.THANKS

usually "panting" is one of two things: URI or too hot. But if yo are takeing it to the vet, you should get an answer.
