I just noticed my BP have a nostril blocked!!!! He seem to have trouble with it??!? What can I do? What could it be? I need urgent help since I doubt I can find a reptile vet in my aera! on it norstril it seem white inside (the other is fine) and he is trying to get it out by rubbing his head. Could it be a R.I? What are the normal sign of a R.I? Could it be a cold? My temp seems to be fine. Im cooling him down since he isnt eating (well 28 on the hot spot and 24 on the cold spot). Humidity should be raised up or down?!?!? AHHH :(
any help appreciated (sorry, first time I deal with a snake illness)

The thing to remember about vets is they have what we don't, resources. He or she dose not have to be a herp specialist to check a textbook or call another vet and prescribe the right antibiotics to treat an R.I. Any (competent) vet is better then no vet. Are you sure he fine now, do you know what it was? If have a stethoscope you can listen to him for signs of wising. If you suspect he may be sick it won’t hurt him to bump up his hot spot by 5 degrees.
Good luck,
Trevor
