"Clumsy" sounds a lot better than "idiot"... She's a snake, why don't you try getting thru the day without using hands & feet? Anyway the water may help to
wash out or hydrate whatever's going on with her plugged nostril. It doesn't sound like an RI to me either...more likely some substrate &/or minor injury to her
nostril that will shed out in time...snakes shed the outer skin of their nostrils, fyi. Until she does, you can just call her Dixie? (as in Whistling Dixie? )
