Tank started coughing tonight. It was three small coughs. His temps and diet are great. He stays active. No signs of discharges like mucous. It was just random. Should I worry about a possible r.i.? Please help.

Coughing? I've never heared of that before are you sure he wasn't hissing I've heared they do that sometimes if they are unhappy. If contues take him to the vet.

I would keep a close eye on her. If it's a one time or rare thing with no other symptoms I wouldn't worry. If it happens often or other symptoms show up, take her to the vet. It can be a sign of respiratory infection.

Keep an eye on him. Some dragons tend to eat too fast not fully swallowing, so they sort of choke. it's not usually a "urgent" issue, unless they aspirate it.
Note also if he's drank anything recently. Same applies.
If it doesn't reoccur, no worries.

I didn't think of that. Do what ladyknight sayed but also check if he has regurated recantly that what one of mine did when I first got them but then they had been living off morio worms for about 6 months
