my Python regius is squeaking

[SPARTAN 77]

I know that he's gettin' ready to shed, but different people tell me that the squeaking isn't normal when shedding, but then others say it's completely normal
and i'm a little confused

please describe as well as you can your setup including temps.

Just want to make sure its not RI.

hello and welcome

if you could give us more details it would help us try and work it out mate

any other symptoms ?

what temps are you running the tank at ?

cheers shaun

the squeaking is not common, it seems to come when i'm handling him.

i'm sorry but i don't know what the temp is, i ordered a thermometer and hydrometer but they haven't arrived yet. i would say about 80 degrees with the most of the 30 gal cage. and maybe 40, 50, or 60% humidity. i use Eco Earth shredded coconut fiber as substrate, he first began squeaking when i kept the substrate moist. i dry it out now and the squeaking slowed down when i did so. but he still squeaks sometimes. could it be respiratory infection?

You need to install at least one heating pad under the cage.

The preferred method is to have 2 hides, one over a heat mat, and one on the other end, then the snake can thermo-regulate it's own body temps.

For BP a basking lamp is useless, they are nocturnal and will flee from the bright light rather than sit under it to get warm.

i have a heating lamp on tank. but it's a nighttime heating bulb, it heats without emitting bright light.

Sounds like you need some...

Snake Oil ha ha! yeah but i don't think that would fix THIS problem!
