My male burm Atlas is about a year and two months old. He was on a once a week feeding basis and that has stopped as of a month or two ago. he will only take food every other week or two. He has a strong feeding response but no strike? He does cough i think once and in a while. When he sleeps his head is flat i can hear no signs of an RI near his nose or any crackaling inside him and there are no bubbles either. I usually never catch him in the act of sneezing but when i hear it i run over to his vision to check on him. I have noticed a small i guess snot or piece of juice or mucus thats on the glass in front of him after he sneezes. I really need some input and help soon Atlas is my pride and joy, by the way he is about 10'

I'm no expert but that doesn't sound bad to me. My 9' burm eats every 2 weeks. I've noticed his strike dwindle since I switched to soley F/T food. His head, and whole body, will flatten when he's nice and warm and relaxed. He used to clog up allot but since I moved and added a humidfier, his humidity has gone up and the snotty outlook gone away! Maybe Todd or Rob could help you better but it doesn't sound like much to be worried about. You could always take him to the vet to be absolutely sure.

I wouldnt be too worried just yet, but I would definitely get his humidity up. If that doesnt help, and the sneezing continues, I would take him to a vet. Just to be on the safe side.
