Young pastel throwing up her food

I wouldn't just start medicating for an RI with only seeing some saliva. They do have saliva when not sick as well. Most snakes with RI if they eat at all will digest normally. It's another issue if she's regurging.

I would double check the temps and the humidity first as those could be the causes.

If you see other symptoms of an RI see a vet and get a culture done.

thanks yea I will look at everything and see if something is off, I use the F10 so it dont harm her, to mist her for 20/20mins and see if it helps, my lemon pastel had RI and did kind of the same tho he said no to food alot

All great advice. I would assume this is what you would do so my advice is for now. Treat as if just incase but find out before medicating. As Aaron said most snakes with ri that will eat hold it down. Again list your current husbandry and how you measure temps and humidity.

Do not mist as an increase in humidity is bad for ri.
