We have a gravid female here that seems to be stuck in a very dry shed. She does not appear to have a RI but her breathing is loud and through her mouth because her nose is dried over.



Just Saturday I was thinking the exact same thing, How do I get her to blow her nose!!! I also used a syringe with no needle and attempted to Suck it out... worked good on my hand but not so well on her nose when she was not sure what in the heck I was doing nor wanted to find out. I tried a few times.. and it never worked for me.



I like the idea of the mist - gets them the meds inside as well as may help her loosen the skin on the outside.



On another note for DRY SKIN - I just found out last night that a lotion exists for Boas Dry Skin!! Did you know this?? It is called Richs Reptile Lotion I think and you can get it directly from salmonboa.com I have 2 bottles on order now. I have yet to try it but I have good info from a very trusted source that this IS THE cure for dry skin. Not on a RI - but info just the same.
