How long was the tank that cold ? When is the last time you checked on her before finding her that way ?

Take her out and open her mouth. You will have to hold her FIRMLY but GENTLY. Try to put her into a pillowcase with only her head out and her body all curled up so she can't fight or hurt herself slinging around. Once you have the mouth open, try to use a popsicle stick or something to gently put in between the jaws to keep it open and have qtips and moist paper towels ready to remove anything that may be stuck in there.

Honestly, your best bet would go to the Vet NOW. But if you cannot for whatever reason, you need to clear her mouth.

It could also be the beginning of a Respiratory infection. Esp. with the tank so cold. So if her mouth is clear of obstructions, check for mucous, bubbles, discoloration.

If she has the beginning of a RI, she might have mucous in there, and mixed with the substrate it may have formed a sticky, wet glob she can't get out.

Can you explain your setup ? Your temps ? How old is the snake, how long have you had her ? When did she eat last ? Can you post pictures of the set up and of her ??

In the short time I have been a member on this forum, and for the months I was using the forum as reference prior to joining, Zina has proven to be a HUGE asset to the community of snake lovers here at BP.net. I would and will take her advice every time she answers any question I may have. She is definitely not the only amazing person on here, but I have seen her honest, compassionate advice many times on this forum and it is clear that she is extremely knowledgeable and has a genuine passion for the animals and truly wants to help anybody she can to enjoy and share the passion she has for snakes. From me, and I am sure I can speak for many others, THANK YOU Zina, please keep doing what you do.
