Hello all. I have had my little one almost a month now and her breathing is concerning me. I noticed it last night when holding her she would poof her throat out. Never done this before. This morning after waking she started opening her mouth and poofing her throat. Research I have done points to rpi but wanted second thoughts?
I am going to grt her in to a vet anyway but also would like to know what I should ask and push for in teats? I have no problems bullying a vet to do what is needed but this is my first reptile so I dont know what to ask for. She has also been sleeping peopped yp the last two nights like in the image. This was when she woke up this morning before getting on basking spot. Appetitie and poop have been good though she isnt doing her usual second poop in the eveming when I tske her out foe out 30min bonding time.
This is a video of het this moening as she began her basking. She had been there about 30mins warming up.

Her set up: 40 gal thrive (new petsmart brand) with dual front open doors.
T8 repstisun mounted inside about 10 inch (i can remeasure im.just omw to work atm) from basking. She can get as close as 6 inch and does on occasion with a hammock in the back.
Basking spot 102 to 110 but usually is average at 105.
Cool side 80
Overall ambient temps 84 and himidity 30 to 40%. Temps taken with probe.
Subatrate paper towels for the last week before that carpet. Changing to ceramic tile hopefully this week when I get them sanitized.
Diet: dubias and bsfl and crickets when i run low on the others. Salad in the morning collard greens and chard with some bok choy at times and various veggies and fruits to change it up.
This is how she has slept last night and the night before
This is her current set up I can get better pics after work
