    ichy bp

    so I just noticed that Faffy my older bp has been digging alot and scratching his head on the rough surfaces in his tank. I cant see any mites or fleas or anything, and he just shed two weeks ago and he isn't showing any signs of being in shed again. What else could it be?

    See if he's "sliming" the places that he's rubbing his face on - they'll often rub their faces on things when they have a respiratory infection to try to clear away some of the mucus.

    there isn't any mucus that I can see... it does look like there might be stuck shed since there are pieces peeling up, but I saw the whole shed intact including all the head parts... I just finished cleaning out his cage about 30 minutes ago and he hasn't been doing it since but I will keep an eye on him... ooh and he just yawned and it looked like it lasted a good 3-4 seconds quite a bit longer than usual
