my ball sneezes ang coughs.. HELP
he sneezes and coughed 3 days ago. he did that after i cleaned one spot of the cage with 96% alcohol (he just pooped). maybe i didnt wait long enough to let the smell totaly go away (around 7minutes) and i put him back. and he coughed and sneezed 3 times in a row 3 hours later!!! the sound was so loud because his body waving while he puked out clear thick liquid and some very small white stuff
i let him out. i changed the cage. gave him a new cage. i gave him fresh air.
i thought he puked because of that smell of alcohol
but just then, with the new cage, 3 days later, he sneezed and coughed again. 3 times!!! and everytime he coughed out that clear thick liquid with one or two white stuff out of his stomach
what happened to him?
he's about 5 months old
now i put a heat lamp for 91-92f on one side. and 86f on the other side
what else should i do????
help

Re: my ball sneezes ang coughs.. HELP
First response is always: take him to a reptile vet!
Then there are questions: what is the humidity like? How are you measuring temperatures? What substrate are you using?

Re: my ball sneezes ang coughs.. HELP
yup, reptile vet and bring a sample of the material produced when he vomits (heavy worm infestations can cause the snake to vomit) Keep the sample refrigerated in a sealed bag until you get to the vet, preferably within 24 hrs
