Question
Have had my baby ball since 1-17-15 couple days ago noticed eyes dented in read not enough humidity in tank so bumped up humidity, this morning at 2 am laying in tank and buckled up and made a horrible noise and again at 8:30 am this morning, took him our no wheezing or bubbles, any suggestions to what might be going on with him!! Thank You!! Terri

Answer
Snakes can have respiratory issues without constant wheezing or bubbles. He needs to be taken to a actual exotics vet, as RI's kill snakes very easily.

But he needs to be checked and cleared if he doesn't have one. But always keep his temps and humidity correct, as these are very touchy snakes.

Even a big storm can throw them off and they can go off food for months.
