Norma is better with the higher heat and my regular vet is cramming on snake care before giving her the Baytril.
[I don't think he was very happy about touching her because her fear-jumping looked like potential 'strikes' to him, I suspect] but he couldn't hear anything with his stethoscope but I can 'feel' a rattle in her upper respiratory tract]

In the mean time, I'm losing my mind in the new normal of Hyper-vigilance Mode.

My Spider male was cruising a while ago and I took him out to give him a cuddle and after a few minutes of that, while his head was hanging down, liquid dripped out of his mouth.
My heart slammed to the floor.
O M G!....not him, too!

A few seconds later a tiny bit more leaked out and for the next half hour, nothing else happened and he seemed fine, being his usual, squirmy, upside dangling/climbing self.

I'd forgotten that he'd eaten late last night [because it wasn't his scheduled feeding night but I had a mouse left over and gave it to him] and now I'm wondering if while he was cruising, he didn't just take a post meal drink before I came out and saw him and barfed a bit of it up because he was desperately trying to go down the rungs of the kitchen bar stool, as usual.

It was very watery in consistency and evaporated on my fingers almost instantly, leaving no residue, unlike Norma's slimy stuff that feels slimy when wet and crusty when dry.

He seems to be himself, otherwise; very active and a huge PITA about *not* wrapping himself into a Gordian knot around the legs of the stool.

Couldn't 'feel anything' in his lungs.
He's in pink.

While all this is happening, Alice comes out of his hide and starts trying to get my attention.

Then...he... yawned.

Normally I wouldn't give that a thought because he's always been a very dramatic yawner, possibly behavior reinforced by the fact that I squeal like an idiot and haul him out for hugs when he does.

So I'm still holding Leon and watching Alice who's now sniffing his tree and fiddling around half-climbing it....and then he just stops and rests his head on it.

["OMG..NO! he can't breathe! He's holding his head because he's suffocating!!"]

But Alice always props his head on stuff.
He sleeps with his head on a flat stone pillow and gets pissy if the stone gets accidentally moved "out of place" and he can't lay his head on it without stretching for it.

He's a spoiled, fat, lazy lap snake who, if he were a person, would be Al Bundy.

[yes, his feeding schedule has been "adjusted" for the last month and he's not one bit happy about that]

During his two quick yawns, I didn't see anything scary.

[he's also very pink]

I'm going batty[er] watching everybody's breathing/moving/sleeping/yawning/moving/not moving/eating/not eating habits.

Sorry for venting/whining/raving but could Leon have simply gagged up a little water from being handled after a drink?

I had that happen once before after bringing a new snake home and putting her in a temp tub with water to drink until her permanent tub was ready.
I took her out to put her in her new home, not knowing she'd drank a lot and water shot of her mouth like a hose.

And, as lousy luck would have it, she is also the snake who has the RI now so I'm worrying the two events are connected or causative.

I wonder if this is what a nervous breakdown feels like....
