    Well, they also have a tube in the throat they can extend to breath when they are eating large meals... forgot the official term for this, but my thoughts were that the mucus could come from there as well.

    If I had to guess based on the description it would be my guess as well.

    OP any chance you can get your BP and get it's mouth open and inspect it?

    Re: regurge?

    hmm ive never done that before but ill try lol
    i did check his nose though and it looked fine and I havent heard any wheezing whatsoever

    why would he need to regurgitate mucus though? do they do that when they have an RI?

    also i took a picture of it last night im still trying to figure out how to upload it

    Think of it as the snake version of coughing up a loogey, except that reptiles don't normally produce enough mucus to do this, so if they do, it's a bad thing.

    In an advance stage of RI yes they will expell mucus.
