Hello people!
It's been a while. I hope you are all well!

I have this little wormy (pretty much 2 yrs now hah)
And I had a good look at him today and he came across as a bit inactive. He does look like he's going to shed this week so that might be it but usually he's in full hunting mode..

I observed him for about 10 minutes and it kind of looked like he did a tiny little cough twice... Is this anything I need to worry about?
I have heard my 4 year old corn do a sneezy cough once and it wasn't anything but the combination of being inactive and coughing is new to me..

Love,
Leasha :)

You sure he's not shedding and grumpy and actually hissing at you? Scared me the first time I heard mine hiss, rather than a 'hissss' it's more like a 'huff'. Of course I'm not saying for certain he's not got an RI, are there other signs? http://www.anapsid.org/rti.html
If you are unsire, definitely take him to a vet for a checkup, better to know for sure than wonder until its too late.

I think it was a possible hiss.. I have heard my 3 yr old hiss at me before but it was a bit louder.. Maybe snake hisses are different from one and other haha... I could be the age difference aswell.. I looked at him again today and he seems fine. His eyes are kinda cloudy so he should be shedding soon!
