I went into my herp room to check on my crestie and see if he's eating. After watching him for a few minutes with the infra red lamp borrowed from issa's cage, I went to turn on the light so I could mist everybody. As I'm setting down the heat lamp on Issa's screen, he yawned.
I thought well that didn't look like a normal yawn, and then his lower jaw didn't seem to be fitting normally. He had a mouth full of substrate! :shock:
It was all sticky and wet..I have no idea why did he this, or how it happened. :roll:
I very very gently helped him open up a little and got some of it out. Poor guy, he was very stressed by not being able to completely close his mouth and me trying to help him. I didn't try to get it all out, once he could completely close his mouth and he did a few tounge flickers, I very carefully put him back in his cage so he could slide back into his hide.
I hope he doesn't regurge..he was fed yesterday. I don't feed him in his cage, so why or how would he end up with a mouthful of his expandable stuff? (I am so switching to newspaper once I get rid of this other stuff).
I'm hoping he's going to be ok.
