I'm flippin out here people! I think my baby boy Kole has an RI. I have taken a series of pictures to show you these odd markings that appear to be leading from his eyes down both sides of his face under his jaw. I picked him up this morning worried about the markings and he appeared to opening his mouth (just slightly) a lot when he wanted to breath. He appeared to cough a couple times scaring my sister because she thought he was mad or was going to strike or something. I haven't heard any hissing. When he opens his mouth to yawn he appears to have a lot of bubbles in his mouth... which im not sure is normal or not. I need some questions anwsered PLEASE.

How could this have happened?

How do I prevent it in the future?

I know a vet trip is in order... how much is the average rate for treating an RI?

The temps in his cage have maintained 90-93 on the warm side and 80-82 on the cool side. With an ambient hum of 35-45%.

It also appears he will be entering shed soon. His eyes are loosing his normal color and I believe I can see the fluid in between his old and new skin.

Here are some pictures of his wierd markings. Some are a bit blurry... my hand was shaking. I love my little guy!
