Do BPs Sneeze?

[Moofins07]

Hi,

Is she shedding or getting ready to?

If you hold her up to your ear is the popping coming from her nose or further down her body.

Do you hear it only when you are handling her and she is breathing faster or heavier or even when she is sitting at rest?

If you open her mouth is there a lot of frothy mucus at the back of her throat? Does it look slightly redder than the rest of her mouth? How about at the end of the beathing tube at the bottom of her mouth?

Is there any sign of mucus in her waterbowl or smeared on cage furniture?

She had just shed five days ago.

It's definitely coming from her nose, though I've only heard it once for about 10 seconds, then it stopped. I haven't heard it since.

I haven't listened in on her while she's resting in her hide; so far, all the noise has happened while I've been holding her. She hasn't displayed any labored breathing.

I'm kind of scared to pry open her mouth. As soon as I try to peel back her lips, she freaks out, yanks her head out of my grip, and gives me the, "I hate you so much right now" look. Any tips on what's the easiest method to open a juvenile's mouth? Her head's so small, I feel like I'm choking her sometimes.

I have not seen any mucus residue in her habitat yet. Nor around her nose or mouth.
