Hi , I hope everyone is well with what is going on in the world right now.

I haven't been on the forum in ages which tells me my snakes are happy and healthy.
Last night i fed and my one royal twisted around while halfway down, but he twisted with his head upside down into his water bowl.

He stopped swallowing and tried to breath through his nostrils for a second and acted confused I would say. Although I would not know its a snake, he got out of the water and just carried on chomping his rat but i did heart excessive breathing after this had happened.

Water either entered his glottis through his nostrils or the glottis itself while his mouth was wide open with a rat in its mouth in the water bowl, this is not hard to imagine.
I am however concerned that water entered his lungs some how? The excessive breathing stopped 20 min after he chomped down the whole rat.

Next time there will be no water bowl. Lesson learned.

Is there any signs to watch out for?
He is perfectly fine now. . . . . .
