Help!! Possible RI???

I had Salem out today, and he's been acting weird. First off, he pooped on me... which probably isnt so weird. :rolleyes:

But then he was sitting on the couch next to me, and I heard this maybe sneezing sound? So I was watching him, and it looked like he hiccupped or something. Like his whole body jumped. And right after that, he yawned... should I be worried? He's my first BP, and I know my corn snake doesnt do that....

Keep a close eye on him. If you see it again I would take him to a vet.

he yawned again...

Take a peek in his mouth anything abnormal? any bubbles or ?? these are signs of R.I

Yawning can also be indicative of a snake just stretching his mouth, tasting the air etc. I've noticed every one of my snakes doing this behavior after we bring them out for some handling, or they are waking up at night to cruise around.

If he pooped on you, the hickup could have been a fart. Snakes are more likely to fart.

If he pooped on you, he was likely stressed. I have never once been pooped on by a snake. I have been peed on by a snake that was in distress.

Watch him carefully, review your husbandry and look for the tell tale signs of whistling, popping, wheezing, druel from his mouth or on the sides of the tank. Look for him to sit with his head raised, or his back arched for long periods of time.

If he shows any of these signs, take him to a vet and request a swabbing and culture.

mine stretch there mouths all the time thats no biggy but hicups?
thats new to me was anything spookin nim? maybe he was just hissen at somethin they can kinda spit like a cat when they get startled and hiss fast the small ones especially
