    Foaming at the mouth

    My sanoran boa is between 10 months and 1.5 years. I have him housed with a female bic of around the same size. the ambient temps is 84 hot 79 cool the humidity is about 65 70%. As i stated in the title i took him out today and he had some foam around his mouth. I think this is a sign of a respritory infection. Am I correct and what should i do abouth this either way? Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Re: Foaming at the mouth

    I don't know the first thing about boas, so I don't want to mislead you at all.

    However, I do know that mucus inside of a ball python's mouth generally means respiratory infection.

    So, I would say you're on the right track.

    Get a second opinion other than mine though. I just wanted to kind of reassure you since no one else had answered for you yet.

    See a vet, and since you cohabitate your female more than likely will show symptoms as well.
