Sorry no pics at the moment. I know that BP's rest with their nose elavated when they have RI's. A week ago or so I noticed my BP doing this, however her nose was BARELY elavated. I kept it in the back of my mind and kept a closer eye on her. She continued to do so on occasion within the next few days but like I said, the angle wasnt too extreme. Today, I walked in and she was mostly out of her hide. When she noticed I was in the room she lifted her nose about 4 inches in the air and stayed like that for about 5 minutes, which got me a little worried. She then moved positions and this time rested with her nose against her stick at a very high angle. I decided it was time to check her mouth so I did. There were many small bubbles in the back of her throat, but then she got free of me. I opened her mouth again and everything looked clear, and then she wrapped herself around her mouth so I had to let go again. On the 3rd check the bubbles were back, and on the 4th check (I was hoping to get a picture) they were gone again. I decided not to stress her out anymore trying to get a picture so I put her back in her cage.
What do you guys think? RI? ( I know its hard with no pics but its hard to take a pic while opening her mouth, she struggles quite a bit). She has had an RI once about a year ago. If it is a RI I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Her temps are good and the humidity is usually around 50-55% unless shes in shed where they go to about 65-75%.
