my bp roger shed for the first time today, i guess while he was in the middle of the actual shed he coughed about 3 time-my roommate told me. he has never done it before and hasn't done it since,(about 4 hours ago) could it be a RI or is that something they do to loosen the shed, please help im worried. by the way the shed came in two 2 pieces.
// thanks

What are your exact temps? Should be 90 to 95 area.Do you see slime or gunk running out of his mouth or inside his mouth? If not then i doubt its URI(a cold).I have never heard one just cough though.If you do see slime in his moth make a vet app ASAP.

i didn't know that snakes can cough.

hope yours is okay.

his temps are 92 during the day and around 85 at night, i wasnt here when he was coughing-or making the noise, thats just what they said happened. they went over to the tank and roger opened his mouth really wide a made a coughing noise(he did that one more time to make a total of 3 times). i took him out and inspected him in detail and noticed nothing out of the oridinary except how nice he looked from the shed. i will be keeping a really close eye on him the next couple of days.

if you hold him to your ear... can you hear anything? weird breathing type stuff?

**sweetbeaz** · 11-08-2006, 05:08 PM

i held him to my ear for a minute or so and i heard nothing, --except for the sweet nothings he was wispering to me-i think he likes me.

haha. is it possible that your roomates could be wrong? maybe he was just yawning. I'm not sure. I have never heard of a snake coughing, just like horses can't throw up, i didnt know snakes could do that...

i know i have never heard of snake coughing before. i do believe them that he made some sort of noise, because as soon as i got home they were excited to tell me all about it-me i wasn't so excited to hear he was making noises while shedding, they said it was loud enough to hear from the other side of the room.
i dont know what happened maby it was just one of those weird things that no one has ever heard of happening before, i will be keeping a close eye on him for the next few days

I've never heard of a snake coughing. Good Luck!

I've never heard of a snake coughing either. I would keep an eye (ear?) on him just the same.
