Whistling snake? or just a boogie?

[jncoclub]

My Ball Python was laying a tad too close to some fresh poop that I put her in some water in the bathtub to clean her off while I cleaned out her cage. When I put her back in her cage I noticed that she was whistling when she breathed. (It’s like when Jim Carey got his nose broke in Me, Myself, & Irene.) Now I know we have all fallen victim to a whistling boogie at some time in our lives, but can snakes fall victim to it too? I thought it was really funny until she was still doing it 30 minutes later. Now about 3 days has passed, and I thought the water was gone until I heard it again. This time I’m guessing she got water in her nose from playing in her water bowl. Am I safe to assume that this is what happened and I can continue to giggle at my whistling snake, or can this lead to some sort of problem, or is it already a problem? Please let me know if your snake has done this.
