HELP: Burm Is Coughing Thick Saliva

Hello People,

My friend's burms which live together in the same tank and are 6 1/2 ft. each are both coughing thick saliva randomly! It worries us, so I was just wondering if any of you with experienced these situations have any idea what's wrong with them or what's causing this? Please Help Me Out To Help Him Out! I would appreciate it alot! Or is this normal?

Thanks,
Edgar

Generally its caused from low temps.

RI is respiratory infection. But it being as bad as it sounds, a temp raise won't help. Bring them into a herp vet.

burms are extremely, extremely prone to ri's. if not addressed/treated asap, it can very easily develop into something very serious

...

raise the temp to 82. and buy tea tree oil put them in a conatiner with some cotton balls dipped in the oil for periods no more than an hour, you can put the cotton balls in the cage but there must be no way for air to get out of the cage or just do each snake separate in a tote. the idea is for them to breathe in the tea tree oil like we would vicks, also find a vet that has experience with reptiles

That is some awesome advice Ed wow I've never thought of that, maybe next time i should try that! The snakes got much better the vet gave them some shots and some shots for us to put on it every 3 days, and for now they haven't showed any symptoms of RI which is awesome! Thanks for the help everybody!
