RI or Paranoia

[aerie]

5 month old ball python, I found a bead of saliva on her mouth the other day. When checking her mouth, there were very few bubbles and mild salivation but I couldn’t get a picture. Her cool side is 78-80 Fahrenheit and her warm side is 88-90 Fahrenheit. I haven’t handled any other snake in the past month and a half as well, she is also eating completely fine, pooping regularly, and has no signs of lethargy. The day I found mild salivation was around a week ago, how worried should I be? I can’t find any obvious problems although she recently shed, meaning I raised the humidity heavily to around 70 percent. However as far as I know, she stayed in her warm hide throughout the whole process, making me question what else I did wrong. Any advice is helpful!

I don't think you did anything wrong, & it's good you're paying attention, but I cannot tell you whether it's an RI or paranoia, lol. In fact, without seeing your snake
in person, it's kinda hard...so wait & watch until symptoms are more conclusive. (noisy crackling or whistling sounds with breathing, slimy & bubbly mouth, open-mouth
breathing) Right now it's only a maybe. Didn't you already ask this before, in another thread?

After you post on this forum, you only have about 5 minutes or so (maybe 10?) to edit your post...after that, it's a done deal.
