My 1 yr old Retic seems to be Wheezing

Not sure how big she is, but the big snakes tend to wheeze/hiss when they breathe, just because of how big they are. Being a year old, it's probably 5'-7' if I had to guess so not big enough for that type of breathing, but it could be due to exerting its muscles. My snakes sometimes wheeze when they're doing something like climbing up something or squeezing something too tightly.

Does it do it all the time? Any gaping? Any mucus or redness of the gums?

^^This. My 3.5' SD "wheezes" when he's unhappy about me touching him or getting him out, but its not quite a hiss. Or if he squeezes tightly. What are your enclosure details?
