Nose Rubbing but no mucus?

[JamieH]

I fed my BP today, and I feed her in a seperate box ( I know you don't have to and some people advise you not to, but she has never missed/refused/regurged a meal) I noticed when she was done she rubbed her nose a few times on the side, and on herself. There was no mucus or anything, and no visable bubbles in her mouth.

Could she just have an itch?
Am I being paranoid?

In like 2 days ( so she can digest ) I'm going to look her over and in her mouth for anything. In the mean time I just need to know if Im being paranoid, or if this is the beginning stages of RI.

Thanks for any help.

If everything husbandry wise is good,there are no signs of a R.I. and you don't have mites. Then I wouldn't worry about.
MY bp too started doing this when he wasn't in shed. It wasn't excessive but it made me go "What the heck? What is going on?" but he quit. And he is quite alright :] And has been since he quit doing it a couple months ago. So as long as it isn't excessive and you've ruled out everything then don't worry about it. :]

Thank you for setting my mind at ease. ( one less thing to worry about )

If she did it after she ate, then she's more than likely just realigning her jaws after having "un-hinged" them to swallow. Mine do it occasionally, and it's nothing to worry about! If she keeps doing it then you might want to re-check your cage size because they've been known to do that when they start outgrowing their enclosure, but if it's just after a meal then there's absolutely nothing to worry about!
