that doesn't look like a RI... Our Burmese did this the night before he passed though. A RI should be clear white bubbles right?
I mean it could be a severe RI, but he said recently so idk...

that appears to be blood, and like I said our Burmese did this right before he passed.

That looks like an infected abcess in his mouth. Needs to get to a vet ASAP.

Oohh I didn't think of that one. Maybe gently pry the mouth open and see what you can see?

I'd say for now, bump your temps up a couple degrees, and call your vet in the morning.
:( Our first burm just couldn't make it and she passed on the third night we have her, she had mouth rot, a RI and blood coming from her mouth, so I jump the gun to vet when I see blood. :P better safe then sorry IMO.
and I also agree, up those temps a bit, but remember, don't trust our advice over a vets advice.

That sucks, I'm so sorry :'(
I too agree with better safe than sorry, but I also didn't want the OP freaking out thinking HIS snake was going to die, know what I mean?
