    I've heard of the F10 fog but never used it...personally, probably would not try it without a vet endorsing it, as it's an off-label use. Read the F10 label & ask yourself
    if you'd put it in YOUR lungs? While I've seen someone like Brian Barczyk promote using this, bear in mind that he is a commercial breeder, whereas I'm probably way
    more attached to my pets than he is to his "inventory"...ok?

    And Vicks...never! That IS TOXIC for snakes & even for humans if used incorrectly (only supposed to be use EXTERNALLY!)- someone else asked about that very
    recently- I wish everyone would quit sharing that awful advice...

    I agree with bumping up the temps a few (like 3) degrees, but I would stay lower than 92*...95* is pushing it, the normal upper temp for BPs is 90*.

    Your herp vet is likely available by appt'mt...I'm in a small town too & all vets are open, but you need to call first & discuss how they want you to handle things.
    For example one local vet is meeting patients in the parking lot, & the assistant takes the pet inside while the owner waits outside.

    It's possible your snake is coming down with an RI...it's also possible his nostrils are plugged up (old shed skin, or cage debris), no way we can say for sure here, but if you aren't seeing a bubbly mouth, I'd probably wait & see if it gets worse, since some snakes just make some minor noises or open their mouth to yawn, etc.

    BTW,
