Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

You have had her for two months? Why have you not taken her to the vet yet if you are concerned?

My local exotic vet just re opened. Also as I said before there are no health issue with the snake. No discharge , no breathing issue, no gaping , no straight neck nothing. Just when she starts hitting and puffing it makes a different noise.

Listen 👂
I attached a video where you can kind of hear her . It’s so weird though I have dealt with RI before and there is always other symptoms , also like I said she eats every week shit every 5 days if you let her . She also sheds perfectly every time she’s shed twice already !

Nothing personal, but I'm not going to download an attached file, so I haven't seen the video.
I would take a reptile to a vet especially if symptoms were inconclusive; more advanced diagnostics would easily eliminate the worry of RI.

If you have other animals, I'd suggest practicing isolation procedures to prevent spreading of whatever it might be. Wash hands between handling, no common tools, keep animals separated as far as possible, etc...

Same Issue
I had the exact same issue. In fact, two vets to do me there was nothing wrong with my snake when there clearly is a wheezing sound that comes and goes.
It’s been a year. No other symptoms. I’m on vet #3 and at least this one took a culture. What happened with yours?
