    I think my snake is sick, he keep opening his mouth when I handle him like if he can't breath or something wrong with his jaw. And I would like to know if anyone have this problem with his snake before. And if you know what caused it please list it for me.

    Don't worry guys, I'm taking it today to the vet to check on it.

    It's probably a yawn. They usually do it after a meal to realign their jaw but they're known to do it randomly.

    Unless you see any mucus or here any sounds coming from him, (clicking, bubbling, etc), I wouldn't worry.

    We need a lot more information to be of any help.

    What type/size of cage do you have him in?

    What are you using to heat his cage?

    What are you using to measure/ regulate temperatures/ humidity?

    Have you seen any other signs of RI like bubbles/mucus in the mouth?

    Is he opening and closing his mouth, or holding it open?

    In an effort to keep the forum clutter free both of your threads were merged. It is not necessary to create several identical threads just be patient and answers will come.

    Thank you.
