Whistling

[Nautical]

I have a boa that I just got about 2 weeks ago and at first he would wheeze a little while breathing but only from time to time not constantly. I woke up a little bit ago and heard whistling and it was coming from him while he was breathing. I am thinking it might be RI which I am hoping not because I dont have the money for a trip to the vet right now.

I have raised the temps in the cage. Hot side is at 90 and cool side around 84. Humidity never falls below 60%. He is eating fine. He just ate yesterday.

Anyone have any ideas?

Yes, it sounds like an RI, and yes, you are doing the right things so far. Try to get the humidity down to around 50%, and monitor the situation for about a week. Then, if it doesn't improve, take it to a vet.

Ya, I was hoping it wasn't RI. Ok. Ill get the humidity down and let him be for for the week. If things dont improve I'll get him to a vet right away.
