 Respiratory Infection.

I was just wondering how you can tell if your snake has a respiratory infection? I keep on seeing posts about this and was just wondering.

labored breathing. you can most of the time hear them breath in and out, not wanting to eat. open mouth breathing. gaping (sitting with mouth open), waight loss, poping noise when breaths. these are just a few.

 Respiratory Infection.

Symptoms of an R.I (respiratory infection) include:

A ’clicking’ noise, when breathing... A wheezing noise, when breathing... Bubbling at the mouth due to excess mucus... Dribbling from the mouth... Opening mouth often... Tilting head back with nose in the air - this helps to clear the mucus in their mouth & airways... Bubbling from the nostrils..
