I just got a jungle from my friends brother, he is a 2 year old and wasn't looked after properly at all. The day I first saw the jungle I felt very sorry about it and so I offered to care for him. I had a bit of a handle of him, and I noticed that he would make a wheeze noise every once and a while.
I had a feeling that it might be sick, so i took him home and put him in a separate room from my other snakes. I set him up so that the enclosure was quite warm. I have a Thermal gradient of about 27 to 29 degrees and 30 to 32 degrees in his basking spot. the reason that the latter cold temperature is 27 is because thats the temperature in my house.
Aaaanyway, back to the point. The jungle doesn't wheeze as much as before, only every once in a while, but if anyone has had this before and may have any tips I would be more the happy to hear from you.
(also, I'm quite aware that this could be a respiratory infection, that is why I have warmed up his enclosure just in case)
