Hello everyone,
So I was going to handle my 4 month old Albino Darwin & noticed she kept opening her mouth & made a squeaking noise along with it… she done this several times. It only happened today when I was about to handle her.
Is it a sign of a respiratory infection ? I’m going to the vet tomorrow but some people in a different post advised not to rush to the vet as snakes can make unexpected noises especially if they’re stressed or being handled & it isn’t a sign of RI (https://www.aussiepythons.com/forum/threads/squeaking-noise.222173/).
Also there isn't any saliva. I feel like she does this when she is out of her enclosure & exposed to the outside air if that makes sense...
