My adult female has had about 1 URI since I have had her. She still eats, still drinks. she does her normal thing. But as of last night, I was cleaning her cage, and noticed her breathing VERY heavy. I opened her mouth, to check her airways. Very clear, but the very back of her thoat is all bubbly. I would stroke the bottem of her neck, and feel bubbles popping or her guts moving all making sounds. I have her humity lowed a bit to dry up some of her conguestion. Also highered the temps as always.

I'm really boggled about this. I don't know how she got this cold. The room temps are staying above 80. And her tank temps are 85-90F.

Can anyone shed some light on this problem. I'm starting to think she's one of those kind of boas that get RI's out of no where.



By the way, I have owned her since December of 2004. I've had her for 7 months now. And this is her second RI. Plus she's only got one nostrel to breath out of. Her last owner fed her Live Jumbo rats, and now she's got a really bad scare on her nose. Her nose healed shut, and she only breaths out of one side.



this is a picture of her three months ago.
