    generally not an issue, visually inspect her nostrils and see if you see anything there.

    But today when I had him out- he yawned and the wiped his head on my arm and left behind what seemed like saliva? Is that normal? Do snake drool at all? I'm worried he still has an RI. But if the vet says no then what else could it be?

    You need to head to a reptile vet, excessive salvia is generally a sign of RI. Check for bubbles on your snakes mouth and nose, and excess saliva/mucus in the back of the throat.

She's behaving her typical way, she's not getting defensive or anything when I handle her so could it be that she just had shed in her nostril and would the vet be able to take it out? Or is it something that is just going to come out on its own???

    I think you may be right, sounds like a piece of stuck shed in her nostril.
