Possible RI in honduran milk snake...

[Arachnaeoccult]

My 5 foot honduran is big which may be a contributing factor to this. He does't seem to have excess mucuous, he's not yawning at irregular intervals. I've heard a couple of clicks but not consistently. I heard burrowing can do this. He shed 6 days ago and has since eaten.

I think the winter got him down a little. His whistling noise seems to happen when he's climbing up toward my shoulders mostly. It might be his scales. Some exhalation seems forced but I could be mistaken on that too. I'm preparing a eucalyptus and vicks vapor 'bath' for him. I regret putting him in such a small box though.


Edit: checked on him this morning. no popping, just the whistling sound that seems to happen from his slithering around. His symptoms have lessened to non-existent. Still gonna vape him just to be safe. His nose isn't mucuosy or otherwise fluid covered unless a slight 'cold and wet' touch against the tip of his face is an indicator.

I also note taking out his hide because he isn't using it much and I feel that the extra space granted by removing it was better than having him constantly coiled in half his 10 gallon (I'm still getting him a 55 gallon).
