A mouth should be moist, but not watery.
There shouldn't be any large bubbles. It shouldn't be runny, stringy, or sticky.(aka no mucous)

wow thx for the info, i guess mine wasn't that clean, i think there all have RI at early stage maybe??

they all have this small bubble at sides lips, although there was no wheezing, clicking nor popping sound during breathing, and some are eating just fine.


if i'm keeping all my BP in a rack system with heat tape with thermostat set at 33C

with ambient 28-31C (at summer it could get 33C), do you think such high temp could cause the RI, but i'm keeping all my BP for about 2 years now, some from 100gr until now 1,4 kg with no serious problem, should i get Air Conditioner?

Hotspot should be 90 cool side 80. What is your setup like?
Maybe a fan in the room.

Just to say that they can have a few more bubbles if it was a bit of a struggle to get their mouth open.

I always think you should wait until there are at least two symptoms before deciding the snake has an RI.

Are there any signs of dried saliva on cage furniture or in the waterbowl?

i've watched video from youtube from BHB, and there are no sign of spreaded saliva around the cages or waterbowl, everything was clean and dry

but right now some start to stop feeding, still no wheezing or clicking.

i think that could be the case, bubbles came from struggling when i try to open the mouth
