Help, suspected respiratory infection

[Bogertophis]

Thank you for the answer, it surely helped me calm down a bit! I did read that all the bubbles, excess saliva and all that stuff happens when things get serious.. So i felt really worried thinking that my BP had a mild RI that soon or later is going to be life threatening, and i am still kinda nervous but it's my problem, i just can't chill out over things till the slow-fast time passes and shows the results haha. I never kept a reptile before and everyday i just seem to find out more and more info bout BP's, i wouldn't stay near my boy and stare at him as he eats so that might be why i started to worry over salivation this time, i kept hearing always about respiratory infections in snakes to the point i feel suspicion over any detail now ^^". Luckily he seems like an active lil guy at night, he's hungry even after 2 hopper mice but im worried to over feed him if i give more, and the only time he's interested to come up close to me is only when he expects food, he's an aggressive eater so he looks like he rather eat my hand instead of waiting a second so i can put a piece of cardboard as a serving plate for his food lol. What i mean is that he looks perfectly in strength, while an ill snake wouldn't be so jumpy, i think?

He sounds perfectly normal to me, so do try to relax a bit. I know it's because you care a lot and because you're new at snake-keeping, & you're not yet sure what you're seeing.

We all were new at this "once upon a time". When you get more practice you'll understand his actions & moods much better. Like his "interest" in you when he's hungry- that's because to him, motion translates to "hey, maybe it's dinner?" LOL Like I said, they see & follow motion & heat signatures, but snakes don't always make good guesses as to what they see. They're not at all logical about what they can realistically swallow, so you have to do his thinking for him.

Watch out for over-feeding! Not sure how big your snake is but normally young BPs are only fed ONE hopper mouse per meal, not 2 & certainly not more, just because they still "act hungry".
Don't fall for that- snakes stay pumped up for food for hours & sometimes a day or more after they eat- it doesn't mean they should be fed more. Best to feed only ONE item of appropriate size/meal.
