    urgent help needed please, im reall unsure what to do

    hi

    i am currently in my first breeding season and i just heard my spider female , (she is 1300+ grams ) sneeze twice, she is acting ok apart in aall types of behaviour, and i have only heard the sneezing twice, one after the other in quick succession, my breeding temps have been dropping gradually to about 76-79 and i remove the humid hides when i put the pairs together.

    i wondered could this just be a random sneeze, cos she really did like flinch when she sneezed just like a human does.

    i have raised the temps back up to 80 and im gonna stick with that as my nightime temp now for good, my daytime temp is 89-90ish hotspot

    please any opinions are great x

    That is much too cold for breeding lows. In order for the snake to digest it's food properly it is probably going to need an area above 85F. There is no need to have a day/night change unless its unavoidable.

    Snakes don't have a diaphragm. They are unable to sneeze. Most likely she was hissing at you, which is often similar looking to a sneeze.

    Keep an eye out for an RI if your worried, wheezing sounds when breathing, bubbles of mucous, ect.
