    It's hard to tell anything from those pictures. Is there something in particular you're worried about? You can goolge pictures of ball python mouths and then separately of mouth rot and compare those pictures to your ball python's mouth.

    It looks fine. Here's a rescue tokay I got a few years ago with mouth rot.

    It can look like that. Or more yellow. Or have large swollen areas.
    Hope that helps. The pics you included don't seem to have mouth rot.

    When they have RI they have a huge amount of mucus in their throat and it will be accompanied by wheezing and clicking sounds. A couple of bubbles is normal if you are looking into their throat.

    Re: does this look like mouth rot
    My first ball python was a rescue. Well I rescued her from my best friend who had no idea how to care for snakes. She had mouth rot, pneumonia, she was severely dehydrated, and she had multiple bite wounds from mice. I know from personal experience what mouth rot looks like and this is not it. If she had mouth rot her lips would be brown, basically they start to look like spoiled meat. Your snake is healthy and you have nothing to worry about. Have a great day :)
