Sneezing BP
So we have had Jasper since about July 2011. He has never shown any signs of an RI...except he sneezes. Drives me crazy. He won't do it for a week, then one day he'll pick he sneezes all day long. No mucus, bubbles, popping or wheezing...he's always doing just fine, eating, etc. But for no reason i can fathom he lets out these LOUD honking sneezes. I have gone from coconut husk, to aspin peices, to sani chips, and now just on paper towels, thinking that he was getting dust from each or any of these, and he still lets out these horrendous sneezes.
I think he's actually older than what they told us, of 10 years, when we got him. I don't know if that makes a difference at all. He is HUGE for a male. 4 and a quarter feet long with a huge huge head. So, anyway since snakes never stop growing, just slow, it seems like he's older than ten just because he's so big. (It is most definitely a he, btw someone once told me it was "impossible" that it could be a male and be that big and I've probed him myself, not to mention he was adopted to me as a male who'd bred before. That was just a stupid statement. ANyway...)
He's doing it again tonight. Big honking elephant sounding sneezes. All i can think is that he's got a shed stuck in there.
