If your snake only had bubbles and excess mucus that one time, I'd guess it had just finished drinking water. When bothered after having a drink they will spit it all back up. If it still has the problem you should take it to a vet to check for RI.

Not even for the good of the snake? Feeding them right when you get them is VERY stressful. It is a problem that most places only guarantee their animals for only a short while but that is a problem that doesn't need to be made worse by stressing out your animal, resulting in a failure to take a second meal. I would take it to a vet for a check up just to be sure its not RI (respiratory infection) and to get the head wound taken care of!!!!!!!. I do agree with Eric that it could just be water, but it never hurts to be cautious. Good luck with your new snake!! I hope this helps.
