RESP. problem

locsmith Jun 18, 2007 07:10 PM

I have a albino green thats been breeding last few weeks.Ovulation was on 6/7/07. shes in heavey shed now.i removed her from the males cage today and noticed her weasing and bubble out her nose.How can she get a resp infection with her temps being 89-92 during day and 82-84 at night .Her being gravid is it safe for her to go to vet?im more worried about her than the eggs. right now she is still swollen from ovulation and is in heavy shed.
Thanks for Any comments

A trip to the vet , if you have a knowledgable and respected herp vet in your area should be taken but in the meantime I suggest you raise your temps another 3 degrees and not sure what your humidity is but would suggest you maintain a high humidity for a week or so and see if this helps. Atleast 85%. I have used this home remedy in the past (not on a gravid female however) with great success. Hope this helps, Todd
