Re: Possible RI?
I agree with MDT. It sounds like your husbandry is good. It seems as if the meds given masked the issue but didnt cure it. I would also reccommend getting a culture done to see exactaly the issue is and treat it with the proper medication for the result of the culture. As said the hissing/wheezing sound is normal. My 9' jcp sounds like shes hissing sometimes when im handling her but its not aggression its just her breathing. However the gurgling sound and mucus is not normal and not at all a good sign. You also stated that you only notice these symptoms when handling her. I'd reccommend leaving her in her enclosure and closely listening and observing her. Normally the symptoms will still be present just less noticable when in the viv.
