This seems quite stressful, dangerous and unecessary. I have had BPs for many years, rescued many and have never had to resort to anything intrusive to determine if a snake has RI or is developing RI. The most reliable sign of RI I have experienced is wheezing. In every case, the condition was cleared simply by increasing ambient temps.



Further, and I'm sure someone experienced will tell me if I'm wrong, I have not noticed excessive yawning in snakes with RI. What I did notice is their mouths were slightly open. They would open them further on occassion but not a full yawn.
