I got home from work today and went outside to check on my outdoor Russians, everything was normal except my male. He was trying to wipe something off the Side of his face, an looked like it was shiny around his nose, I picked him up for a closer inspection which revealed it was spider webs all over his face makin it look shiny not bubbles/mucus. I cleaned him as best he would allow, and put him back but kept watching him. He kept trying to wipe his face and kept opening his mouth like he was trying to swallow somethin but couldn't. I've seen him do this while devouring food, but this time there was no food. Should I be worried? Was it likely just spider webs in his mouth? I saw him do a big yawn once, but only once. He's eating and energetic, and wasn't doing that this morning at breakfast, but I never see him do that without food in his mouth so it was cause enough for me to post and see what you guys think.

Sounds like what ever was bothering him is now gone. I wouldn't worry about it.

I meant he wasn't doing it this morning, but was when I got home from work, and last I checked still was. It's getting dark and he's burrowed in for the night already so I can't tell if he's still doing it right now.

After I wiped his face he walked around a bunch but kept stopping and wiping his face and opening an closing his mouth.

he seems fine today, and I am about to soak my torts, so I will get a nice close look at him again soon, but I bet it was the webs.
