I'm not sure if she's got RI or not...I had her out two days ago and she wasn't whistling. I also talked to a vet friend of mine who has successfully treated snakes with pneumonia and she says if a snake has a bad case of RI, it'll definitely show signs of illness.
She definitely doesn't have a bad case of anything, but I'm keeping her temps up for a few weeks or a month to be safe.
thanks for you concern and I'm hoping she'll be okay
later

I thought that might have been the case.Sometimes if your not used to their breathing, huffing and puffing sounds it can sometimes worry you.Also with the water spitting out I posted a post awhile back all scared something bad was wrong and ended up being nothing.Sounds like keeping up the heat and watching her will do you good. Thanks for the update.I just like to keep tabs on what people do for RI's.I've dealt with one so far and hopefully no more in the future.
