 Can WD’s have hic-ups? PLZ REPLY!!!

Anguis is breathing irregularly, he/she will take a few breaths and stop for about 5 secs and take a couple, and during this every couple seconds he, seems to hic-up ... I can even hear something .. I am kinda worried, never dun this before ... He is also just starting to shed, which is the first time sence i got him ...

Is it possible at 11 inch’s, that if its Anguis is a she, to have eggs??? Anguis has put on a lot of wieght sence i got him/her in the middle area ... but has been eating lots ... so I duno, anything would help .....

If this breathing keeps up ... for to long i might call the vet ...

Thx Jake

It could very well be that he had something stuck in his throat and was just trying to get it out, or to make it go all the way down. I have never heard of them getting hicc-ups, but ya never know. I’ve read that they must be at least 16" to be gravid.
