Sofia shed last night/this morning & has sneezed a few time (4-5) & yawned a couple of times too, not too concerned as it's probably due to the shed (it was complete by the way). I've got a little nasty thought that it could be the start of an RI though, I can't see any mucus or anything though, any thoughts? |

its probably down to her shed..
Keep an eye on her for the usual signs of RI's if your worried..

Hi Dazza.
You should be watching for, bubbles from the nose, mucus, wheezing and crackling, maybe elevated head as the snake trys to clear the mucus to breath, open mouth breathing.
the crackling when Peanut does it sounds like static clicks if you know what i mean..
I am sure there may be other things to add as well that i have not;-) |

also keep an eye on the glass doors on your viv - sneezing/snot deposits will be obvious on the glass. what are your temps like at the moment? |

34.1c hot end, 24.8c cool end, she seems to have stopped now, so it probably was due to her shedding. |
