Temps still aren't perfect - 92-94 on the warm side, 82-84 on the cool side.

Ball pythons are very good at hiding symptoms of illness, because being sick makes them more vulnerable to predators.

I'd be really concerned about the cool temperatures she's been kept in, especially with the noise you said you heard, and now the yawning. By the time you start seeing mucus, you're in a more advanced stage of an RI.

I don't know, if it was me, I'd be taking her into the vet and getting a culture done, just to be sure.
