Possible RI
Well my male Burm has many symptoms of an RI, from everything I have ever seen about them. This is the first time I have had a snake with a possible RI, I think it was because I had improper heat and humidity because I had gotten a new enclosure and didn't have anything to heat it properly throughout the enclosure, thanks to some people on this site, that's all better now  . We've got an appointment at an exotics vet near my house, I hope all goes well.

Re: Possible RI
I'm sure everything will be fine. Just shoot e'm up with baytril and you're all set. I'm glad you are taking your snake to the vet-most people wait until the symptoms get really bad before they take them to the vet. So Kudos to you!

Re: Possible RI
Yeah he had been like, "whistling" for a while, but I didn't really notice anything else, and over the last few days he's been making the bubbling noises and open mouth breathing. So I figure a vet trip is needed.
I have one question, this may sound dumb, but, when taking him to the vet, does it matter if he is in shed? His eyes are opaque now.
I'm worried about him, I don't like seeing him like this.

Re: Possible RI
Well, we went to the vet today, bloodwork was done on him, he had a high white blood cell count. I was given antibiotics to give to him every other day for about 24 days. He should be fine after that =).

Re: Possible RI
 Nice work. It's always best to catch these things earlier rather than later. Good luck with everything! Are you doing oral meds or injections?
