Hi all,

My names Rob and I have had a lovely female Royal since Oct 2004. No problems except being a very irregular feeder, but that is par for the course.

I consider myself to know quite a bit about the species, but something had me slightly puzzled last night.

Mia was laying in the middle of her viv. I opened it and stroked her. She moved very quickly (I think she was asleep), and then started to dart about the viv. I could hear a wheezing noise when she exhaled. I immediately thought RI, but there was no gunk. I took her out and after a few seconds, it stopped and she went back to her usual self.

Left her overnight. Fine this morning. No wheezing, no gunk around the nose & mouth and gulped down a rat for the first time in 8 weeks.

Anyone got any idea what it could have been last night?
