I just gave my corn a bath in the sink. I think she got some water in her nose. she kept making a sound like blowing air out her nose.
Is there anything I can do to help get it out?
And the reason I was washing her in the first place is because she pooped in her hide. she's never done that before and I know dogs only do that when they are sick. Is it normal for snakes?
 
Also, I just used gentle (non-antibacterial) hand soap, dried her off, and she's flicking her tongue normally
 
She should be fine. Snakes swim underwater, completely submerged. She probably just breathed in a drop by accident.

Snakes poop in their hides frequently. I'd say it's _more_ common to do it in a hide, even a specific hide (or corner) than not. They poop in their water bowls, too.
 
I put large water jugs in the cages of most of my snakes, because many snakes love to submerge, especially during the hot, dry weather...

They often defecate in their water jugs also, which is good, because it's really easy to clean.

As far as snakes inhaling a littel water, it happens from time to time. Usually no problem. It'll be back to normal shortly, I'm sure.

It's nothing to worry about, my snake will sometimes submerge for what seems like a long time to me. Sometimes he'll get a little water in his nose, and he's fine shortly after.
