male tiger 2.5 years old over 10 ft long never had a problem . No change in environment , seems healthy . Just noticed a few short breaths and a cough/sneeze earlier with a few bubbles and nothing since . Cage temps are fine and he spends most of the time on the cool end . Raised temps a few degrees anyway just in case ..... any advice would be appreciated

How have the sheds been. Whats the humidity at. I had the same issue. And at two years is when I noticed the problem. Retics are pretty though. What are your temps at as well. The clear bubbles from the mouth I have been told is a sign and unfortuantly I did not know that with my burm and she passed but my retic I did take in and he had a slight case. In fact he has been fighting it for months now, and it on the road to recovery.

It also could have been it just drank water, so it could be nothing. I would keep an eye on it, take it to a vet if you want to know for sure. Keep checking for bubbles. When I use to take my guy out he would bubble from the mouth, or when he was just laying in his cage.

Temps are 90 on hot side 82 on the cool side , humidity runs 70 - 80% . Sheds are always 1-2 pieces and he just had his anual check up 5 weeks ago . No more signs of bubbles or wheezing and he still stays on cool side of enclosure . Gonna monitor him very close for awhile , thanx for the input

Sounds like everything is good. One more question, how is the air circulation?
