burmboy Jan 05, 2004 12:38 PM

I have a 5 month old female burm, that about a week ago showed some signs of weezing. So, I increased her temp and humidity and now the weez is gone but just last night I noticed she was rubbing here nose on the glass leaving behind some snot on the glass. She just ate latnight also. I thought that if she was sick she would not eat. Can someone please give me their opinion.

Oooh! Snot trails on the glass? That's bad. That means she's severely congested. Keep the environmental temperature up but lower the humidity slightly, if you can. If her system doesn't dry out in a week or so, take her to the vet. Snakes hide their illness very well, to keep from ending up a prey victim themselves. Some don't eat and some do...that's not really an indication unless they are on death's bed. They can be gravely ill before you know it so it's best not to mess around.
