Welcome to Cookie's Critters. • We are reptile breeders in Western Sydney and this channel is to educate our customers and followers. The reptiles that we breed are Central Bearded Dragons, Pygmy Bearded dragons, Knob tail geckos, and Northern Velvet Geckos. • In todays video, one of our carpet pythons has a respiratory infection. We discuss the signs and symptoms of a respiratory infection in carpet pythons along with how to treat a respiratory infection. • Signs of a respiratory infection in carpet pythons are: • Irregular breathing sounds i.e wheezing, gurgling, cracking, raspy breathing. • Bubbles in the corner of the mouth. • The snake isn't tongue flicking. • The snake is laying with its mouth open. • Swelling, pussy, redness and bleeding inside the mouth. • If a respiratory infection is identified early, you can treat your python at home with a few quick adjustments. Increase the heat, remove any source of humidity, and have your snake on paper towel or butchers paper. • Treatment for a respiratory infection is simply killing the bacteria in the mouth with original listerine and nebulising the snake with a hypertonic saline solution with diluted F10 disinfectant. • It is important to constantly monitor a snake that has a respiratory infection and to maintain quarantine practices. Respiratory infections are highly contagious. • In the future our expansion will include Blue tongue skink morphs, carpet pythons and green tree pythons. • For a list of reptiles that we have for sale and care sheets on the animals we keep, check out our website https://www.cookiescritters.com.au • Please follow us on our other social media platforms. • Instagram - / cookiescritters • Facebook - / cookiescritterz • Twitter - / cookiescriters • Sydney Reptile Breeders Blog - https://www.cookiescritters.com.au/blog/ • Please feel free to leave a suggestion for upcoming videos.
