    New help for bp with RI but no RI, input?
    Okay so I took him to a local useless vet and she said she didnt think he had an RI. His mouth is clear, his lungs are clear. She did think he was a bit thin though, not that she really knew for sure.
    So Im trying to figure it out. My best guess is because he was super full of poop(he is under 100 grams and a third of his body was full of it, he pooped an enormous amount overnight).
    Maybe he had just drank water and with being full of feces, my sons girlfriend who was holding him squeezed him to hard????
    I know when I held him with his head kind of dangling a bunch came out but on hindsight when I cleaned it up it wasnt thick or mucusy, it just disappeared into the carpet.

    She(my sons girlfriend) had said she saw a bubble and he did open his mouth several times while she held him(which is weird enough).
    Ive ordered the F10, and moved him downstairs so I can keep an eye on him.


    Anyway any thoughts on this? Should I believe the vet and just move on?

    Are there any other signs of RI? Stringy mucous in the mouth, resting with his head pointed up, wheezing, etc?

    He may have just had a big drink and spat up water when he was picked up.

    That is what I was wondering, about the spitting up water. I have watched him super close and dont see any other signs of illness.
    I even pressed his head a bit to see if any bubbles would come out(very gently).I watched the Snakebytes tv video (My snake is down with a sickness).
    I think it was a fluke.

    I did order the f10 and will be getting a fogger just to have on hand.

    I just had a similar situation, turns out so far he's fine. Picked him up and a large dip of fluid came out. Just keep an eye out, and never hurts to be prepared.
