Blocked nose.

My 6ft9. Boa shed last week. Everything went fine. I have just noticed that his nose seems blocked. His breathing is not too bad, but it isn't as strong as it was. Any ideas? As I dont want to go "Picking" his nose if theres any chance of damaging him.

Just soaked Cyrus in a BIG bucket & thankfully, one of his nostrils has completely unblocked. There is no budging the blockage in the other one, though. Please Help!

Try dabbing a bit of mineral oil on it, allowing it to soften for a while, then working it off very, very carefully with a pair of tweezers. If it still won't budge then you may have to wait until next time. Just make sure your humidity is right the next time around and it should come off. It isn't a huge deal, although if you can get it off that's great.
