Small amount of blood after defecating

[Bogertophis]

Getting another fecal sent out tomorrow, and unfortunately there was some dried blood with this one too. Another thing I'm concerned about is her whistle-y breathing. I've been keeping an eye on it ever since I first noticed and it is definitely still there, maybe even more frequent. The thing is I've also been checking her mouth periodically and I can't see any excess saliva as far as I can tell? I think I'll just book an exam and get a culture done for an RI anyway though, I don't know what else could be causing this and kingsnakes aren't known for being naturally "noisy".

Sorry to hear that you're still seeing a bit of blood. Wonder what the vet will say about that?

I hate to say this but snakes can get worms in their lungs too. Do ask your vet. Search for lung worms in snakes- lots of links such as-
