Hissing/weezing.

myklx Feb 15, 2011 05:02 PM

I have a female green patternless Burmese Python female that is around 7 feet long. Lately, once in a while, I hear her wheezing or what sounds like a low, short hiss. I think I might have read something once about this being an issue with the greens. Any truth to it? Is this normal in any sense? Her cage and temps are right for her. She eats without a problem (2 small/medium guinea pigs a week).
I would appreciate some feedback and suggestions.
Thanks....

If you are not seeing any nasal discharge or excess mucous in the mouth, I would just try raising the humidity levels slightly and see if that makes a difference. Sometimes low humidity can cause these symptoms.
