Bubbles around mouth

I got my adult red tail about 2 weeks ago and have been keeping him in the proper cage with proper heat and humidity. Today I took him out side for the first time since I've had him. Took him out side and he started weeding and making strange noises. He then blew bubbles out of his nose and some out of his mouth. I don't know what had caused this. My gf was holding him and she put tea tree oil in her hair today, could that have triggered a reaction like this? What should be my course of action, I live in the middle of SD and have no reptile vets anywhere near me. What do I do?

It sounds like a respiratory infection. I have treated them all myself. If you can get ahold of a fogger and f10 solution use it... Most of mine, just moving them into a rack with really high humidity and strictly controlled temp towards the high side for the species (usually around 88-90) with a small night drop (85ish) has cleared it up within a week or 2.

What is f10 solution? His hot side is 90 and it drops to 85 at night. What humidity should I keep him at?

Where can I get f10? And what is it?

You need to get some treatment started. You also need to check and recheck your husbandry.

I would just keep it as close to 100 percent as you can.

F10 is a veterinary disinfectant.

Okay, is there any other way to administer the f10 besides a fogged? Money is extremely tight and I can't afford one this month. Where can I buy f10 from?

Last time I got it I ordered online... You could probably get away with a bath in it. It isnt as important as temp/humidity for it right now though.

So to recap, increase humidity as much as possible and keep temps at 90 in the day and 85 at night? But f10 from online and go from there?

That's how I would approach it
