Hello again. It has been raining up a storm here in los angeles so i brought my russians indoors and made them an enclosure in a 54 gal bin. this gave me a chance to observe them more consistently than when outdoors. I noticed that my female russian was laying with her head down and legs out looking almost dead. So i woke her up and she moved around fine. She stopped under the basking light and got in a basking pose and then she closed her eyes. A little while later i see her rubbing her face on a leaf in her enclosure. And upon further inspection it seems as though her nose is clogged. She is having a difficult time breathing (kind of wheezing) and sneezes every once awhile. She won't eat, seems weaker than usual, and is sleeping all day under the basking light. I am wondering if she has the equivalent to a cold because it has been so wet and windy here. Any ideas? i am setting up a vet app for this weekend so if you guys have any immediate knowledge it would be appreciated. thanks
