    I'm Relatively New To Keeping Snakes, And Was Wondering How You Could Tell Definitively If Your Snake Has A RI? Thankyou.

    I think the most obvious signs are drooling, bubbles coming from the nose and mouth, keeping their mouth open, and wheezing.

    They are hard to miss once it gets bad, some of the symptoms are not as obvious. If you ever see "drool" slid across the front back and sides of the enclosure that's usually a pretty early sign IMO.
