My snake is wheezing

msubigdawg Nov 23, 2004 10:40 PM

I have a Brazilian Rainbow, but I post here because no one ever answers in the other boards. He was wheezing earlier in the summer before I went off to school so we got him treated for an Upper Respiratory Infection. While I have been off to college he has been moved into a nice new enclosure and has become very active now. I just got home for the Thanksgiving break and I noticed him wheezing again. Has anyone ever heard of a snake just having a wheezing and still being healthy? I mean he is active as far as I can see so he doesnt appear to be sick. I am just wondering if he may still have that URI. We took him to a vet the first time and he gave us shots to give to him ever like 3 days and we did that but I am just hoping he doesn't still have the URI.

He is being kept in a 4x2x2 enlcosure we built and the humidity was good for a while but the humidifier broke so we are going to get a new one soon. The temperatures are around 80. I have a moist hide to help get the humidity right for now until we replace that humifier.
