Well, sneezing sounds and ticking/clicking and/or popping sounds are all signs of RI, BUT they can also "sneeze" from fine dust in the substrate and will also do this from time to time when they have a small piece of loose shed skin in their nostrils. I would keep the temp elevated in the mid 80's ONLY until it sheds, then if it continues for one second after it fully sheds and no skin is visible in or around the nostrils, I would go straight to the reptile specialists you were referring to. When RI and other things are caught early-on they are MUCH easier to take care of for a swift recovery. The last thing you want to do is ignore things after it sheds and you still hear any noises when it breathes.

Also, if it is on aspen or pine and it gets dusty at the bottom, I would change for at least right now to newspaper or paper towels so you can rule dust out as well.

Hopefully it can be a quick fix for the snake...



cheers, ~Doug
