yes, they can... though we call it upper respiratory disease...

First, temps and how you read them, next need humidity levels if you have access to read those... last, do you also hear any type of clicking ?

Now.. when do you hear the hissing ?
Some dragons can hiss when frightened.

does her breathing seem labored at all? If you can get her to open her mouth do you see excess mucus stringing from the roof of her mouth to the bottom?

What were you doing when she hissed? It can be that you or something in the room either surprised or scared her.

had she been in the bath or had access to drink water this morning?

bump up the temps a few more degrees and consider making a vet appt. Sounds like an RI. Sometimes increasing the temps slightly will stop it and back it off.....but not always. The fact that she didn't have much interest in her crix this morning also indicates she doesn't feel good.

If it is a one off, it could most likely be she was startled or in a mood. Has her appetite picked back up?
