like i said she has never done it before she is healthy and perfect, other than this.it started 10min ago is it normal?

also theres no bubbles, wheezing or clicking

It sounds like the beginning of an RI. Although there are no bubbles yet, they are generally the last sign you notice. Have you measured the temps in the enclosure in the early hours of the morning? Sometimes they can drop lower than you would think. Keep the temperatures up and check them in the early hours of the morning. You can generally cure an RI in early stages by keeping the enclosure 30 degrees day and night, that means the whole enclosure, not just a basking area.

More heat!!!!! I made the same mistake once with one of my Woma's. when i noticed her symptoms of a RI, i placed her in a smaller enclosure and pumped the heat! the coldest part was around 26 degrees and my hot spot was above 35! don't switch off the heat over nite!!! she was perfect 2-3 weeks later....

Hi,
I have had this happen when spraying certain cleaning products or pesticides near the enclosure and similar reaction can take 2 to 15 mins to occur. Only my BHP's react so violently, none of my other pythons.
