Bubbles

[Michelle1221]

So I came home from being gone most of the day and went to check everyone. I noticed that the albino had gone to the bathroom and soaked the paper towels he actually had condensation on part of the front of the tub.
So I got him out wiped him down with a baby wipe and cleaned the tub. I put him back in and I noticed he had a couple bubbles around the front part of his face. I picked him back up and they were gone and I listened and did not hear anything. I did not see any smears on the tub or hides anywhere.
Tonight was feeding night and he ate two mice without a problem and without hesitation. Temps have been right at 90-91 and 79-80. Humidty has been a little low right around the lows 50's until I mist. He has been acting "ball python normal" but since he is new and been here only about 3 weeks we have not had much interaction with him. Just to feed and change water and clean the tub when needed.
I bumped up the temps to about 93 on the hot side and 82 on the cool as a precaution. Should I go higher? What about humidity?

I was going to wait till tomorrow night to closely examine him over again since he just ate or just find a vet? I think I found one about an hour away from here:

North Star Vets there are other vets closer but this one is recommended by other herp keepers. There is one literally around the corner I would like to give him a chance but I want him taken care of the right way. What's the normal care? Culture and baytril?

Does he have any other signs of a RI besides bubbles? It may just be that he took a drink and had some still on his nose. Watch him and if he does any more signs of a RI, go ahead and make an appointment for the vet.

What else to watch for?

gaping, clicking, more mucus, wheezing?
Anything else?

I thought about water too. I'm hoping that's all it was.

Look for more bubbles, whistling, clicking, wheezing, mucus coming from the mouth and nose, a lethargic snake, and anything else that just seems off. A lot of time they'll go off feed too.

a telescoping head is another sign (nose always pointed up).
hope it ends up being nothing.
good luck

So far nothing else unusual.
I was advised to let him go a couple days and then give him a look over and hold him awhile and listen to him breathe.. I pulled his tub out today to mist and he was all curled up in his warm hide. I listened for a few minutes and heard nothing so fingers crossed it stays that way

So we looked him over tonight, held him for about 15 minutes and we looked in his mouth. We did not see or hear anything abnormal.
I learned a few things from this for sure.

I'm glad he's doing good! He had probably just drank some water. I'd still keep an eye on it the rest of the week, but it doesn't sound like a RI
