I have had her for six or seven years and I think she has probably always done it, what you describe is exactly what happens,the huffing is not continuous and her breathing is silent even when breathing heavily.I just started listening out for it again because I heard that parasites can casue breathing problems but its probably just me being overcautious.She is a lovely snake but just a little skitzy.I think the pet store where I got her from had been feeding her incorrectly and damaged her nerves, she twitches now and then when touched.
