    Clicking when inhaling

    I have 11 snakes. One snake in particular has a clicking while inhaling but it doesnt seem everytime. But im really concerned. No signs of mucus, no bubbles, no nose drainage, no head up she is just in her hide like a normal ball. So what do i do? Or is there anything to do?

    She is on a wire rack with room temp 81° and 90° hot spot, in a 7qt sterlite tub. 3 inch heat tape on off zoo med thermostat. 50% humidity in room 50-70% in tub . The 70 was just to shed easier. Any help would be greatly appreciated TIA.

    Always possible that it's the start of an R.I. but could just be some debris (like a bit of old shed skin) stuck in the nostril(s) too. (snakes shed the skin in the outer
    part of their nostrils) So for now, I'd just wait & observe.
