Help, breathing is audible, squeeky!

[Jessica_lee]

Searched breathing, noise, squeek, wheeze and couldnt find my specifc problem.

I picked up My coastal carpet severus (bout nine mths old) and every say thirty seconds he makes a weird breathing noise, almost like a squeeky expultion of air.
I'm really worried, his enclosure is clean and substrate changed reguarly.
Should i be so worried?

It is not uncommon for them to wheeze prior to shedding. Is it due to shed?

 

[Jessica_lee]

yes he could shed anyday now, very very dull and eyes clearly pre-shed. i hope this is the case.

Pretty sure it has something to do with the shed skin obstructing the nostril a bit he will be fine Jess.

Could also be him just saying he is not happy about being handled. some of my morelia's do it.

They can wheeze for a week or so before shedding so dont panic yet.

he shed on thursday.

squeeking is no more.
thanks for your replies, before i got my snakes i read heaps and RI seemed really common and worrying, i thought i mustve been the only person who has a snake in their natural locale to and give it an ailment.
