If he keeps it up, it would call for a vet check. Watch for open mouth breathing, and the snake resting its head in an upward position. You also might want to open the mouth and see if there is a lot of mucous. I use a paper towel wrapped around my fingers. Blot the inside of the mouth and see if you pick up mucous. Good luck.
