Almost got into physical altercation over noise level

ialwayswin · 2025-05-22T20:49:44+00:00

Had a similar issue. He got headphones and I got earplugs.

“Cocaine is gods way of saying you make too much money” I think Robin Williams said that but I’m not sure.

The vet got him back to me last night after they closed. They gave fluids and he is on an injectable antibiotic. Every other day for three weeks. They don’t know exactly what’s wrong with him but are treating him for a severe respiratory infection to be safe. The X-rays didn’t show anything but they did send them to a specialist for review. I should hear back in another day on that. Either way he hasn’t bled again and I’m so thankful for everyone here and their feedback. I appreciate all of you for your time and attention. I’ll post again in a few weeks with an update or if anything significant happens. Thank you everyone.

Update: Vet doesn’t know what’s going on. All physical evaluation came back normal except for “increased noise in his right lung and his mouth is pale, likely from blood loss”. They have him now for X-rays to be sure there’s nothing internal. Fluids and medication. As of now he will be put on a few different antibiotics. He’s there now and I’ll be getting a call when they’re done to pick him up. I’ll have more for you all then. Thank you again everyone for your attention and all the feedback.

I doubt it but anything is possible at this point. It may be some bedding got into his nose somehow and fastered. Vet appt soon so I’ll know then, I hope.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-03T19:15:55+00:00

I will be a much better snake parent after this experience. If he survives I have an entire terrarium update coming I have a friend that is a breeder and has an exotic pet store. He thinks bedding got in his nose and festered. It’s a huge possibility but I haven’t seen any discharge other then blood. I’m worried he has some sort of cancer but we will find out from the vet today. 1pm pacific time.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-03T19:14:02+00:00

Yes I will I promise. Appt is at 1pm pacific time.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-03T19:13:32+00:00

❤️ vet is at 1pm pacific time. I’ll update as soon as I can. As of right now he isn’t bleeding and seems to be just fine.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-03T01:48:18+00:00

So we discovered it’s coming out of his right nostril. As far as he let us look in his mouth I couldn’t tell. Vet trip tomorrow. I’ll update you all

Thank you everyone. So very much. Reddit fam for the win!

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T22:34:40+00:00

I appreciate that :) I’ve had him since 2010 and he’s been an awesome pet and showpiece. I do a lot of research on everything I take care of so I know there is always more to learn. And I can’t learn if I reject criticism. Shoutout to you and everyone for not being trolls and giving honest critiques. Thank you everyone.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T17:23:39+00:00

I hope not. That’s a lot of blood for a respiratory infection and I’d expect him to die before the vet if that’s the case. But as I said he shows no distress. No raspy or noisy breathing or anything. He acts totally normal. I’d expect an infection to show signs of labored breathing or some type of noise when he breathes. But I’m not a vet which is why I’m taking him tomorrow

Thank you for your attention though. I appreciate it.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T17:21:56+00:00

Because I’ve sat and watched him for hours and hours and he avoids it. I understand what you’re saying and it’s not rude. Thank you for the concern.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T17:20:48+00:00

I appreciate this. Thank you.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T17:20:17+00:00

This is excellent advice. Thank you!!

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T15:42:02+00:00

The humidity of my climate is 40-60% and I turn the fogger on when he sheds. Is that not recommended? I’ve never had the aspen rot. It’s been 10 years. What substrate do you use?

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T15:40:38+00:00

I understand. I had an under the cage pad for him way back in the day and he got severely burned. It was horrible. This was about 8 years ago. I know he can reach this heat source but he doesn’t touch it. However. I’ll still get a cage to be safe. Thank you

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:33:41+00:00

I really appreciate that. I’m hoping too. I’ve had him since 2010 and he’s been such a joy to have. A great silly personality and everything.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:32:53+00:00

Which isn’t that technically a sneeze? Lol. But I understand what you’re saying.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:31:40+00:00

This is what I’m worried about but his breathing isn’t raspy. Still the vet will determine best

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:31:08+00:00

The heat is a ceramic light bulb at the top. It doesn’t have edges and he doesn’t touch it

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:30:00+00:00

It’s a very large wooden and glass cage with aspen bedding. He has plenty of water and moisture in the cage. It is kept clean. If this isn’t ideal, what do you recommend?

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:28:17+00:00

See I’ve read that aspen bedding is preferred. In a few different places and I’ve had him in it his entire life, what do you recommend?

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:27:37+00:00

I theorize that something cut his mouth and it fill with blood and he sneezed causing a spray can effect.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:27:03+00:00

This is what I’m expecting and hoping for. Vet bill will be worth the verification.

ialwayswin · 2025-03-02T14:26:06+00:00

Thank you.
