    Looks more like mucous, anything bubbles or mucous in the mouth?

    If you didn't find a body nor did it stink to high heaven it probably wasn't a regurge IMO. I'm not sure what the frothy/foamy stuff is though, very odd. I've never seen stuff like that from a snake passing urates/urine/stool

    I don't really see anything hodling the shape of a prey item, not sure if it isn't a regurg or another issue but I don't see the "body"

    Looks like mucous to me as well. Or at least that kinda consistency. Does the snake have any other signs of a RI? Also theres no chance thats sperm plugs? Idk what they look like but thats just another thought that came to mind.

    I don't see regurge anywhere. Looks more mucous like, I would wonder about possible RI? Any other signs?

    The Ball Python is 796 grams last time I weighed (Last Saturday)
    She had some "Coughing" sounded like if a snake could sneeze. That was on 09-06-'12
    That was back when she had a tank with screen top as an enclosure. The very next day after hearing that I took her to the vet since I was concerned.
    They did a test (The name of the test escapes me) to check for any bacteria. Like a snake version of a throat culture and found nothing and gave her a clean bill of health.
    I thought it may be a humidity problem due to the lack of humidity rather.
    Then I moved her from the tank to a rack enclosure on October 13th and she was doing fine.
    A couple days ago she was laying on her side but when I picked her up she acted fine and normal other then I could tell she was going to shed soon. Thought she must have been sleeping weird or something.
    Tonight, I go to feed and find this and she's in blue. Got a brand new tub, aspen, no hides, and a large glad container for water for her.
    Took pics, posted here, and here we are.

    I'd consider taking her to a different vet for another test. The "coughing" paired with all that mucous rubbing screams RI. Maybe they missed something. Or it could have been viral...I'd take her back to the vet.

    No bubbling anywhere but she's just laying there. Sigh. Great. The first vet visit cost over a hundred. This is bummer town.
