Here are some signs of an RI:
-popping or wheezing sounds when you BP breaths.
-Your BP opens it mouth to breath (this is due to the nose being clogged)
-Mucus coming out of your BP's nose/mouth
-Your BP lays with its head constantly tilted up, trying to drain the mucus down
-Mucus smeared on the sides of the enclosure.
RI's will not go away on their own, if you catch it in the early stages you can possibly treat it as shown in this video by BHB:
If this doesn't work or you don't catch the RI fast enough (visible mucus means it is in a advanced stage) your BP should be taken to a reptile vet for antibiotics.
Also if you haven't already I'd recommend checking out the site's caresheet to double check your husbandry. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...s%29-Caresheet
