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?

It's okay, it still hurts but loosing any animal does.

And to the OP, I am sincerely sorry if I worried you, What I have learned from my personal experience with bloody mucous and from reading other post it goes south quickly, my point was to re-enforce how serious it is.

You need to see a vet ASAP, if you tell them it's a emergency they should fit you in that day or even the next.

Again I apologize, I just don't want to see another, My snake died post.

No lumps or anything is his mouth, it feels exactly like snot. He makes a noise also not sure how to explain it kinda like how you breath with a stuffy nose. Also opened his mouth and where his tongue is is a little red?

Thanks

Call the vet and make a an appointment as soon as possible.

Looks like an RI to me. Sometimes they can get a little phlegmy when opaque, but not to that degree.

He only started doing it when he went into shed. I check this morning and I didn't see anything around his mouth?

You really should take that snake to a vet even though you do not see anything. What we saw in that pic you posted is most definitely not normal and would have me very concerned.

All any one on a forum can do is guess, it is not normal for goo to come out of a snakes mouth in any form RI or no RI it is something a vet needs to see and deal with.
