Is this normal?

My reticulated python breathes kinda fast. You can see her sides move in and out kinda fast. She has done this since I got her 6 months ago. I think it's stress and not a ri because she has clean mouth, no mucus or bubbles, she doesn't cough or sneeze. I never see her open her mouth unless it's to fix her jaw after eating. She only whistles during bath or while in shed. So is this normal or stress? She doesn't act stress. She likes to slither up my arms and sit on top of my head sometimes. She doesn't act aggressive towards me so I don't think she is stressed. Please tell me this is just a reticulated python thing and some retics just breath like this?

I'd say it's probably normal. Highstrung snakes like retics will hyperventilate whenever they get excited, and it's easy to get these guys riled up.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I was thinking.
