    Watch this video from BHB. He shows you the signs of RI on a snake and one way to treat it in the early stages at home.

    If you can get past the misspelling of "respiratory" in the title
    here is another helpful youtube video on checking out possible RIs in ball pythons.

    Includes tips and close-ups on how to handle when checking inside mouth, etc.
