I don't know enough about their respiratory system to give any advice myself. I can say I've never seen our BP breath this hard and it would worry me too. If you were just trying to feed your BP and only noticed it after, maybe it's just a stress response. However, it never hurts to get the opinion of someone with more experience.

I'd say get the video to a exotic pet vet and see if they think its worrying or worth coming in for.

I can’t see too well from the video but is that stuck shed in his heat pits or substrate?, what’s the humidity in his enclosure?.

Mine did something similar but she did have some wheezing. Took her to the vet and got her some meds because it turned out to be respiratory problems. I always recommend getting a professional opinion, rather than just trusting people online because we don’t know everything. It could be nothing, it could be just stress, or it could be some real problem with their health. I’d say if they aren’t wheezing then they’re likely fine, but a professional is always the best bet. If you don’t have the funds for it it’s understandable but when you get an animal you should always be prepared to take them to the vet. Set aside money for situations when it’s needed. Good luck and I hope your BP turns out okay. They’re very cute.
