Hi everyone, first time posting on here but I have been reading various threads for a while now.

I have a male pastel called Basil who is one year and 3 months old who I have had for a year now and has just sneezed a couple times within a minute for the first time.

Events leading up to today:

Saturday: came out of a very bad shed (first shed since me moving house, changing from heat mat to ceramic bulb which both lowered humidity. It was around 55-65%, but with good temps during shed. I know they were too low but I struggled to keep them up)

Monday: Bathed Basil and removed almost all retained skin which he happily let me do and help me by pushing against my hands to pull the skin off. Only skin left is on his neck.

Tuesday: cleaned his viv (I use aspen bedding)

Wednesday: attempted feed, was interested but did not take

Friday: took Basil out for a while, let him roam around on the sofa, also for the first time let him roam around on the carpet (he did not seem to like the carpet) (the carpet has also not been hoovered for a while)

Saturday (today): I went to a visit a reptile rescue centre to for a few hours with my fiancee. I was told that some of the ball pythons had been isolated due to respiratory infections. I bought some lignocel bedding for when I clean his viv next time, and I also bought him a large wiener rat from the rescue centre (frozen) which he has been happily eating for a while now. I have also bought him a porcelain plant pot for him as a hide (I have used this in the past and he absolutely loved it). I widened the Hole in the pot using a drill, which caused a lot of dust. I washed the pot after and put in his viv replacing his cold hide.

He strike fed his wiener rat in approximately a minute and ate with no problems.

Once he swallowed the rat he sneezed and they yawned to realign his jaw and then sneezed again. I have never heard this from him before and was wondering if it's because of any of the things that I have dine recently or possible respiratory infection?

He is approximately 3-4ft long in a 3.5ft viv, 1 year 3months old, and weighed 550grams today before I fed him)

Temps are good and humidity is currently at 68%

Please help, any advice, suggestions or information will be gratefully accepted.

I am in the UK it was Saturday 11th March when I started writing this and now it's Sunday, just saying so days do not get confusing.

Sorry for writing a story.

Thank you very much in advance
