I need help and assistance I have a female normal BP about 8 months old now squeaking never done this before. I've just moved her in to a larger setup last weekend and just tonight I started hearing the squeaking.
I've read what I could about it most say it could be a respitory infection(RI) however it is a squeak not a weeze as most site say is a common sign. There is no bubbles or mucus as of yet, she does seems to "rest" her head on things such as the dish hides and branches, but this is common for her since we have had her.
Things that have changed since last week. Branches,fake vine/plant, new setup, one new larger hide, and a new heating pad.
Just yesterday I relized that the heating pad doesn't stick right, and is a crap zilla heating pad. I now have an exo terra on stuck on since 2ish pm today and checked it and it is a lot hotter then the other.
Other sites suggested rasing the heat and humidity I'm doing that now, i have the half of the tank with the heating pad covered with a blanket. I also have the heating pad that didn't stick under the tank with a towel under it so it is pressed agaist the bottow of the tank, so instead of 1/4 of the tank being heated I have 1/2 of the tank coverd via heating pad.
Tank is a 30Lx12Wx12 high with a thing layer of aspen for bedding. She is about 2.5ft long possibly longer, I don't have a scale so I don't have a weight
Also side note tried to feed her pre-killed but she refused it. It was the first time we tried we normally feed live, could she have just refused it because she was/is sic? Or just not interested in dead? We also switched from rat pup to small rats at the begining of the year and feed once a week tuesdays or wednesday so every 6-8 days. So should be plenty of time to digest. She ate fine before being put in to the new setup she is feed in a seaperate continer.
Thank you in advance for any/all help. If you need any other questions answered plz ask. She is our first snake and my wife and I are attached to this snake
