RI after brumation?

So I recently received two corn snakes. They were both in brumation being kept at ~55-60*. They were like that for about one and a half months. I was told that it was ok to heat them back up because the coldest spot in my house is 70*. It seems like both have an RI. They both have a lot of saliva and have the popping sound from their nose. Is it normal for them to have an RI right after brumation from being cold for so long?

RI's in reptiles are never normal, and I would think not normal after brumation either...I've never brumated snakes so I'm sure someone who has will chime in soon.

The "drooling" rings an alarm bell. Whilst I've never brumated either, if it happened in any of mine I'd be looking for a vet check and potentially antibiotics. Make sure you keep them in strict quarantine just in case.
