2 days ago I heard a strange noise from my 3yr old olive it was a constant hiss sounding like the noise an elephant beetle makes. He also was stretching his jaws too. he looked a bit agitated. sitting on the sofa about 5m away wondered if it was a mite problem as had ground fleas around due to dry weather. he did cough up some mucus with a strain of blood
took him out of his enclosure with the water and sprayed top of decent waited for the mist to vanish then put the water and him back in he started to settle down a bit he was due for a feed so i fed him with no problem at all. another strange thing was he sat in his water bowl and he doesn't normally do this?
then today i was on the sofa again and was getting bitten by something and so i got the mortein nature guard spray and sprayed the sofa paying attention not to spray in the way of the enclosures. Then about 10mins later my waterpython was showing the same behavior like my olive showed 2 days before but not so much of the stretching of the jaw and no mucus.
My water python also was fed at the same time as my olive and took the food item
I have checked the temps and are maintained between 31 to 32 degrees c
does anyone have suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated?
I am a little concerned
