    Possible Regurgitation? Pics

    Looks more like mucous, anything bubbles or mucous in the mouth?

    If you didn't find a body nor did it stink to high heaven it probably wasn't a regurge IMO. I'm not sure what the frothy/foamy stuff is though, very odd. I've never seen stuff like that from a snake passing urates/urine/stool :confusd:

    I don't really see anything hodling the shape of a prey item, not sure if it isn't a regurg or another issue but I don't see the "body"

    Looks like mucous to me as well. Or at least that kinda consistency. Does the snake have any other signs of a RI? Also theres no chance thats sperm plugs? Idk what they look like but thats just another thought that came to mind.

    I don't see regurge anywhere. Looks more mucous like, I would wonder about possible RI? Any other signs?

    The Ball Python is 796 grams last time I weighed (Last Saturday)
    She had some "Coughing" sounded like if a snake could sneeze. That was on 09-06-'12
    That was back when she had a tank with screen top as an enclosure. The very next day after hearing that I took her to the vet since I was concerned.
    They did a test (The name of the test escapes me) to check for any bacteria. Like a snake version of a throat culture and found nothing and gave her a clean bill of health.
    I thought it may be a humidity problem due to the lack of humidity rather.
    Then I moved her from the tank to a rack enclosure on October 13th and she was doing fine.
    A couple days ago she was laying on her side but when I picked her up she acted fine and normal other then I could tell she was going to shed soon. Thought she must have been sleeping weird or something.
    Tonight, I go to feed and find this and she's in blue. Got a brand new tub, aspen, no hides, and a large glad container for water for her.
    Took pics, posted here, and here we are.

    I'd consider taking her to a different vet for another test. The "coughing" paired with all that mucous rubbing screams RI. Maybe they missed something. :rolleyes: Or it could have been viral...I'd take her back to the vet. :(

    No bubbling anywhere but she's just laying there. Sigh. Great. The first vet visit cost over a hundred. This is bummer town.
