Hi all!
I’m a little concerned for my male pastel.. he’s a couple months old and I noticed after feeding him, when he had the rat pup in his mouth and was adjusting his position , the rat pup was covered in saliva .
I don’t know if this is normal or it’s a start of an URI

i havent heard him wheezing, and he does not have any mucus outside of his mouth.. he does not stargaze either. He’s active , and like I mentioned earlier , still eating, has not refused a meal . I see him readjust his jaw too but only after eating. Don’t know if that’s normal or not.

Im thinking of taking him to the vet in case it is an early sign...


i also have an older female mojave I most recently adopted, and she just wheezes a bit. I haven’t gotten her to eat for me yet, I feel the move to her new terrarium was a bit stressful .(it’s been almost 3 weeks since I got her, she had eaten the week I bought her) But other than that she seems fine. No mucus around her mouth either...

ahould i just take them both and have her checked anyway?
