Jasmine,......

Yes, the saliva, bubbles, ticking-popping are all signs of an RI.

I would STRONGLY suggest you get the snake looked at by a qualified vet so they can take measures with appropriate antibiotics BEFORE it advances any further.

You should most definitely keep the snake in the mid 80's so it's metabolism is raised a bit to help combat this until you DO get it to the vet.

Hopefully it is still feeding, because that is another sign it is getting even worse. If it doesn't get turned around ASAP, it could esily lead to the snake's death.

Best of luck getting this turned around!
