Wild-caught Solomon Island Boa

Hi everybody!

I'm new to the forum and joined for a specific reason - to find out why my boa is squeaking.


Each breath she takes is accompanied by a long, high pitched whistle. It is not an RI, there is no mucus in her nostrils and I've even checked in her mouth and throat. She's eating well and will shed within the next few days which I'm hoping will help, but even before the whistling she's been making a sniffing noise as if she's blowing quickly through her nostrils. Her tank is quite humid, reading right now around 85%, so I'm sure her nose isn't blocked with dusty substrate.


What can I do to help her breathe better? I need suggestions! I've never had this problem with any of my other snakes.


Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Victoria
