    RI's with bps

    Hi there, my bp has a bit of saliva/mucus in the back of its mouth with a few bubbles. It is no way noticeable from the outside of her mouth. Could this be a very minor RI

    An RI is never minor.

    How did you see into the back of its mouth?
    Nothing from the nostrils?
    It is laying with its head pointed skyward?

    Nothing from the nostrils and I just wanted to make sure she was still ok because she was sick a long while back. Also, what do you mean as skyward.

    thanks

    When a snake has an RI many times they will lay with their head(nose) pointed up as if they were watching birds fly by. They do this to make the mucus run down which allows them to breath a bit easier with all the build up.

    Without the other signs of RI I wouldn't worry to much and just keep a close eye on it.
