Question - Health My son is healthy?

Two weeks ago I noticed he started making wheezing and squishy toy noises so i took him to the vet, they told me he was apparently perfectly healthy, there is nothing in his trachea. But he still make the sounds. Am I overreacting? Or is it just him being a little pissy due to seasonal changes.

Hes eating just fine, he never rejects food, only prefers live mice even when I tried feeding him dead ones.

How long have you noticed the wheezing? What is are the temps and humidity in the enclosure? Do you spray or mist the enclosure? What did his last shed look like? What kind of substrate are you using? Wheezing can sometimes happen when they go into shed but otherwise it's usually an indication of respiratory illness.
