Snake Sneeze

[guidofatherof5]

After feeding a group of my females some trout I was sitting down posting to the forum. I heard a strange noise coming from the enclosure I just fed.
I looked in and saw a young female making small squeaky noses. Then she made a long sharp noise like a sneeze.
It sounded so small but loud. I think this girl was clearing her glottis out. Apparently something went down the wrong pipe while she was eating.

I've had my Florida Blue, Jesse, sneeze quite a few times. It caught me off guard and I really had to stand there and listen to make sure it was a sneeze and not some rustling in the plants

I've continued to check on the girl throughout the day and she seems fine.
I was a little scared it may be the beginning of a respiratory problem.
She'll be on the watch list for a few days but I think she'll be fine.
Dad worries too much.

So true! That is what concerned me about Jesse. I had the tank on the floor at the time and wondered if it was too cool for them. I did use heat lamps but thought the coolness would overrule. I have not heard any sneezing since I have brought them off the ground, though it has also been summer here. I'll still need to keep an eye on him.

We worry even when we have nothing to worry about.

So true!
