Hi all. I am new to this site and I am in need of help. Today my bosc/savannah monitor seemed to puke up a load of saliva. He has been "coughing" and splutteing for a few hours now. The vets are closed for the weekend where I live. Is this normal or not I am worried?

that is totally not normal, wahts his enclosure like? substrate, humidity, temps cool and warm, last fed ?

Sounds like it may be an upper respiratory infection. Definitely need to see a vet. Make sure he is warm enough. My other concern would be accidental substrate ingestion, he may have bark stuck in his throat. All in all a vet check is the way to go.

Are you sure the vets are closed?
Most clinics when closed have an emergency number to call.
Call them and see if the number is on the answering machine.
