I recently purchased a reticulated python and had her shipped to me. She's five foot long and arrived in seemingly good health. I noticed she had shed due to the stress of shipping and was making a hissing/whistle noise. I figured some of the shed is stuck on her nose so dismissed it as nothing seriouse. Over the last week, however, she's been pressing her nose against a corner of the cage and shaking as if trying to get out. She also urinates a little every night. She's always on the move and stops every now and then to rest. Eating fine. I have her in a reptiracks cage. Humidity: 65-70 Temp:80-87. Is it just a piece of shed or could it be mild ri?
