My adult corn is making audible breathing noises every now and then. I can't find anything helpful by searching Google on the topic. What can you guys tell me? She seems to be fine otherwise.
 
She's blue right now. She's going to shed in the next couple days. Does that have anything to do with it? And I haven't noticed anything weird with her mouth.
 
I hope it's just the skin. I've been watching her all night and haven't noticed anything out of the usual aside from the sounds she's making. If it doesn't clear up after her shed, I'll look more into it.
 
It could just be some dry skin in the nares, this will sometimes cause nose when breathing.

If it doesnt clear up after the shed, or if you notice your snake is open mouth breathing, or there is any discharge from the nose or mouth then a vet appointment is needed as it could be a respitory infection.

What are you using as a substrate and what are the temps?
 
I'm using coconut substrate and the temps are good. I'm sure it's just the skin in her nose. She's VERY close to shedding.
