Kingsnake Allergies and Household Dust

twilightfade212 May 12, 2005 07:14 PM

Does anyone here know if household dust would cause a kingsnake to exhibit signs of an allergy (i.e. periodic clicking through the nose)? Thanks for everyone's time.

Things that can cause that:

1. An impending shed cycle (most common cause.)

2. Allergic reaction to the substrate being used.

3. A "cold" i.e. an infection of some sort.

Don't know about household dust and reptiles. For people that have allergies, household dust can be a major problem. But people are more sensitive, being that we don't crawl on our bellies in dirt all day.
