BP Farts/Poops and then has foam around his mouth???

[Bogertophis]

*UPDATE* Bad news. I tried feeding my BP, but he only showed a little interest. I have two reasoning for this so far. My first being that I fell asleep when I had the rat in the hot water, so it basically stayed in the water for 2 hours. Maybe it got overcooked, and he didn't like the smell of it? My second reasoning is that when I had to restrain him by holding his neck(to open his mouth) I might have hurt him, and he was stressed out from it. This is the first time that he hasn't eaten since he started feeding for me. He's currently just exploring around his tank, like he does most nights. I'm really hoping that this was just a random fluke, and not because of a potential RI. I will try and feed him tomorrow night again, and if he doesn't eat then, I'm gonna have to start treating him for an RI. Thanks.

I agree that the rat may have gotten pretty funky; also, if he is stressed and-or sore from having his mouth forcefully opened (and I'm sure he was) you are better off waiting several days to a week before offering him food again. Remember that offering food too often frequently adds to the stress a snake apparently feels, & makes them less likely to eat. Think positive for now, but be very observant.

If you have good hearing, try just listening to his breathing from as close as you can* to see if you pick up any clicking-squeaking. (*When I'm holding a snake, I hold them with my ear to their head/neck, but when a snake is moving in their cage you can often hear suspect sounds in a quiet room, & certainly watch for bubbles.)
