I have a pair of maccies that appear to be 'popping' at the mouth.
they have been eating and carring on as normal.
one began to do this a week before the other.
they are only hatchlings.
i have observed little (single) bubbles from the mouth occasionally.
HELP!

popping? Can you be more specific and tell us what they are kept in and the temps. It could possibly be a cold, which means you should turn up the heat. |

If there appears to be excess mucus then there is a high probability that it has RI. Give us a few more details about your husbandry practices? |

as in, they open there mouth slighty and let out a little pop, like when you were a kid and made bubbles in your mouth and popped them. they are in a plastic aquarium with the coloured lids, in a heated enclosure to 30 degrees.

i only got these guys a couple of weeks ago. they didn't have it when i got them, but the day after they did. i've got heaps of hatchies. so i don't think it's my husbandry.

It can be fatal in snakes, I would get them to a vet for antibiotic treatment |

I would, Snakes only have one lung and they can't cough up mucus which is why the die from it. Turn the heat up, maybe to 35+ and see how they go but personally I would get them to the vet asap. |

As bouncer said but around 32 in the whole enclosure, make sure they can't get to a cool spot. Definately sounds like RI. Have you noticed and weizing?

I would get them to a vet if you have one near by. If not, heat them up, it helps them fight infections. You should have them at 32 degrees anyway in the warm end.
