I'm located in south Easter Idaho
Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
I noticed he has bubbly saliva / mucus when he was getting ready to shoot for a cricket during his crickets
I got him out and listened to his berating didn't hear anything out of the normal no cracking or wheezing
Please help I'll be taking him to the vet in the morning but I'm concerned to do that because it is very cold outside!
Please help! Maybe I'm over thinking things!
