    Did you apply pressure to the soft underside of his chin to see if anything came out of the nostrils?

    Hmmm..... Your best bet would be a vet visit. NO one and I mean NO one can diagnose what your snake has over the web. You can try and lower her humidity in the meen time.

    I'd make sure all temps and humidity levels are where they should be and visit a good reptile vet.

    Actually, since respiratory infections often result in dried mucus blocking the nostrils, the corners of the mouth are the best place to look when using this technique.

    That would be an early symptom of an upper respiratory infection.

    Actually, with a respiratory infection, you want to keep the humidity a little higher than normal to help loosen the mucus that resides in the lungs.
