That snake has a serious respiratory infection and needs to go to a vet bad.

Re: Lav tiger coughing up mucus with blood

I agree with Morti 100%. A Vet trip seems to be a good idea.

Re: Lav tiger coughing up mucus with blood

Someone pm'ed me so I will answer their question here. That is not condensation on the windows of his cage. He's very aggressive and really does not like to be misted, so some of the water from the mister got on the glass.

Good deal, but either way, that is a very sick snake and it needs to go to the Vet ASAP.

Re: Lav tiger coughing up mucus with blood

I thought snakes couldn't cough?

Please keep us posted. I hope he'll be okay.

Who ever you got it from sold you a sick snake. I'd get it to the vet and then send the previous owner a bill

Re: Lav tiger coughing up mucus with blood

I'm sorry if I led anyone to believe that I had him for a long time. I have 2 lav tigers, and this one I recieved last wednesday from a breeder here in PA. I have dealt with slight URI in one of my retics before, but I have never had one that had blood in his mucus. He will be taken to the hospital in the morning, as I have no vets close to me that deals with reptiles or exotics.
