I neeed help!!!!!

[byrns149]

today i just took my female 09 normal out and i noticed a popping noise like from her nose and her tongue going out not forked and staying out for a little while. being pulled in really slow. i was wondering if it might be respretory related. any help would be great. also treatments would be good(not involving needdles). Maybe like mouth dosage. or something just please help.

It would be good if you can give us some specifics on her habitat.

I would have asked if she is or was recently in shed but the tongue not splitting and not quickly pulled in is worrisome.

A vet visit may be in order.

she has eco earth/Cypress mulch mix. 29 gallon long tank. 75 watt Spot bulb. branches. 3 hides. waterdish. im looking for a exotic vet in my area.

You might want to invest in an under-the-tank heater, bulbs are usually not as effective.

Temps on both sides? Ambient temp? Humidity?

I just noticed you're in Merrick. Let me see if I can pull up the vet they recommend here in Long Island.

Plainview

Dr. Monaco
Old Country Animal Clinic
669 Old Country Road, Plainview, NY 11803
(516) 938-7218 phone

It looks like a short drive from Merrick at least.

This is where you can find the vet list in the future:

I am so sorry this has happened to you. RI can get bad pretty darn quickly. How long did the snake have those symptoms?

[Twisted Reptiles]

Did you have this snake isolated? Keep a close eye on the rest of your collection, if it starts spreading its going to be a battle.

i actully only started seeing symptoms 2 or 3 days ago. im keeping my male and female nice and warm. im getting rid of my female 06 normal and my male 08 normal tomorrow.
