Snake pass RI to Leo

I had my snake out last night for the first time since he has come home but while he was out I noticed bubbles in his mouth when he opened it. So I'm pretty sure he has a RI now my problem is my snake and leopard gecko are both in a closet together with a space heater. Can my snake give the RI to my Leo? I don't want to take my snake in and put it back near my Leo and just keep getting him sick but the rest of the house is so cold.

Did you notice him drinking any water prior to picking him up? I had one snake drink so much water before I picked her up and she had almost a mucus like substance falling from her mouth along with bubbles in het mouth.

I just had the same situation as Masonic on Monday. Put in fresh water for my caramel albino boy and 15 minutes later my wife took him out and he was sliming everything. I checked for bubbles from his mouth and nose and didn't see any. I moved him to my quarantine tub and bumped up the temps a little and misted really good just in case. When my wife got home from work he was fine and has been all week. Pretty sure he had just taken a big drink.

Make sure your temps and humidity are good and if he is still showing bubbles from his mouth or nose then get him checked for a RI.

Good luck!

He was in his hide and not out drinking. I'm pretty sure its a RI. He only opened his mouth once while holding him 5-10mins and I did see bubbly mucus at the back sides of the mouth.

Can a Snake pass on a RI to a Leopard Gecko? Like a human giving a cold to a chimp... Would be interesting to know.

How is his tounge movement flicking good? Or barely coming out?

That is exactly what I want to know. I also keep my silkworms in this closet for my cham.

Tounge movement seems fine when I had him out. My emergency appointment is at 2pm so I'm going to pull him out and give him a good look over. Really don't want to spend $110 just to be seen :please:

I hope for the best.

I didn't even need to take him out. I'm not sure if you can see it or not but he has bubbles at the back of his mouth :tears:

Here is a pic of his temps/humidity. From last night tell now I bumped it up 2 degrees from how it was before

Most issues with reptiles aren't airborne, so just having him in the same closet as the gecko shouldn't cause a problem, but if you're worried just don't use the same tongs/equipment/whatever for the gecko until the snake's RI gets cleared up.
