Ball python heat tempatures? Heard weezing?
Hot spot: 88-95 degrees
Warm hide: 78-87 (inside the hide)
Cool side: 75-85
Cool hide: 75 - 85 (inside)
Humidity: 35-50%
all were taken with a laser tempature gun (not the humidity) all are day and night.
Are these ok? Or is there something else I should do? The reason I'm asking is because I heard her weezing/whistling a very tiny bit and I'm worried.

Your temps look good, but you need to get your humidity around 60% for a happy ball. That, or put a humid hide in the tank so they have a place where they can go to get that moisture they need. Sometimes snakes can wheeze after taking a soak, so I wouldn't jump to conclusions over having a respiratory infection just yet. If a few days passes and your snake continues to wheeze or whistle, or if you see things like mucus or bubbles around the mouth or nose, take your snake to a vet who can treat reptiles.

All the temps look good but but definatley take it to the vet asap!!! Even if yu hear the tiniest bit of wheezing i would suggest yu take him to the vet. Right away. If anythin it might just be a false alarm but yu shouldnt chance it cause yur snake can die.
