Cee Cee is being weird again...

[EasternGirl]

I don't want to post this in urgent care because I don't think it's necessarily urgent. But Cee Cee is acting strange again...first with the odd regurgitating of the water the other night...and now she is just sitting in her viv in the same spot, opening her mouth over and over again as if she is silently screaming...or trying to gag or something...should I be concerned at this point?

Her jaw could be in a weird position and she's trying to realign it.

Could she have a respiratory infection?

You'd hear a lot of wheezing, possible snot in her nose and maybe slimy crud all over the tank sides from her sneezing.

Bill just reminded me, Cotton did this once before. She was about to shed and her nostrils were being covered by the skin ready to come off. Once she shed she stopped.

Oh! She is about to shed...because she is very dull and dusky...I gave her a bowl of water to swim in last night. Maybe that's it! I was concerned about a respiratory infection because she sounded a little wheezy...but she has done that before, and as Chantel pointed out, there is no signs of mucus around her nose and mouth or sneezing. Plus, my mother reminded me last night that I said that she did this before she shed last time...so that is probably it! Thanks you guys!
