That makes sense.
The last time I fed him was 3 weeks ago, as he refused his small rat, so I highly doubt it was a regurge, and I always wait at least 2 days before handling.
I also forgot to mention that I wasn’t giving him a bath just because. The reason I was giving him a bath was because he had some small pieces of stuck shed that wasn’t coming off, and I am currently treating him for mites (he finished his shed about 2 weeks ago). His humidity while shedding was around 80%, as he didn’t want to use the humidity box I gave him, but he still had some stuck shed for some reason. His humidity now is around 50%.
I seldom give my snakes a bath as I know it can be very stressful to them, and only do it when I think it’s necessary.
I also forgot to menton that I didn’t see excess saliva (or really any at all), when he was “gaping”, so I figured I would mention that.
I put him away in his enclosure, and I’m just letting him rest right now.
Hope that cleared up any misconceptions lol!
