Re: The strangest thing happened! PLEASE HELP!
I can't help with your issue, and I'm sure you'll get many good responses from it.
But, a tip on the pictures... if you use the Tapatalk app, that seems to be the easiest way to upload photos. Using your computer, attaching photos require you to host the photo somewhere and link to it. Versus... Tapatalk, where you just upload within the app on your phone.

She might have the beginning of an RI- streaks of mucus can possibly indicate that, & snakes cannot really cough up stuff, which could explain some of her gyrations, along with the gas-attack, of course. I'd keep a close watch & listen (for excess mucus, bubbles in her mouth, more "streaks" left? or sounds of crackling, whistling etc.).
It's been years since I've kept any BPs, & I honestly don't remember them being so loud with gas, but so many such reports here- I have to speculate that the reason they can be so loud is that they have a much wider body to make "sound" with. Too bad they're not more musically-inclined.* Stop feeding her beans, for heaven's sake!
*My slender rat snakes are apparently "flutes" compared to your BPs that represent the "bass drums"? LOL

RE gas attacks: It used to be that people would always "blame the dog"...
RE RI symptoms- I agree, it's just a "watch & wait" for now. Probably nothing.

Snakes do produce saliva but probably just something that came up when they farted as I’ve seen how they thrash and tense up it shocked me first time. Just keep a eye out for ri just in case but other than that probably nothing

Re: The strangest thing happened! PLEASE HELP!
*UPDATE* just got her out and she has no mucus, clear breathing, no excess saliva just a normal consistency of saliva. Also those "possible swipes of saliva on the glass" turns out to mostly likely be scratches in the glass. I know this because it doesn't wipe off with water and I can't scratch it off either...finally I got my metal lock I use to lock my snake's cage, and it only scratched the scratch deeper into the glass...So no need to worry over that anymore...thanks for everything you said (the fart comments were hilarious ) I really appreciate you all!

Glad she's okay! Never hurts to ask, that's why we're here, to share experience.
