    Possible ri??

    So I was holding my young bp today and I noticed 2 drops of what seemed like water from her mouth. I do not hear wheezing or clicking nor does she act different in any way. She doesn't hold her head up or anything. And eats well. Should I worry or could this be ri?

    Is your snake doing open mouth breathing?

    If your snake drinks and then you pick it up many times the water will work back up and out. This is normal and nothing to worry about.

    An RI will produce mucus and you know what that feels like.
