Like, it's not like he's ALWAYS wheezing, but like every now and then he will take a deep breath and it makes a whistlywheeze noise and that can't be good. Like he's starting to get sick. I looked up about it and they say it might be a Repository Infection. And that if I don't treat it now it'll get super bad and he can die. Is that what it is? Or maybe just some substrate got into his nose? He hasn't shed recently, he's in a twenty gallon, other than the slight wheezing noise he looks compleatly healthy. His humidity is correct. He ate last wensday.


Vets it better to be safe than sorry.

Could just be a shed coming on. Like 3 or 4 of my snakes start making spooky breathing sounds a little bit before they shed.
Is his nose/mouth bubbling o making mucous or anything?

His warm side is 82 Degrees, and his Humidity is Just over 30%, is that too low? How can I make it higher if it is? His water tub is always full and I mist his tank with water every other day.

It depends on the breed what type of snake is it look up the recommended temps and humidity specific to the breed

I think ball python moisture should be around 60? I'll have to check again, but it is either 40 or 60.

Edit: Between 45 and 60 is ideal.

Okay I misted his tank again, I'll see if that helps and do it more often to keep it in that range. I hope he stops making that noise ;;

The warmest part is 82? The hot spot should be like 90-92, with the ambient temp being more like 82-85.
I'd shoot for humidity of at least 60.
