    Drool

    I just fed my BP. He stuck the food and didn't seem to be drooling at first until he dipped his head and the mouse into some water and brought the food back up. As the mouse was lifted (it was already partially swallowed... only the back legs were hanging out of his mouth )) A trail of slime hung from his mouth and down into the water... it eventually was lifted out and hung like a pocket watch from his jaw. I am thinking that it was just a mix of saliva from eating and swallowing that just happened to get mixed with some water and... well... you know xD. I just wanted to know what others thought and if they knew of what this could be. So what is it?

    Check for signs of an RI (as Tat2Guy mentioned).
    If you don't see mucous, hear wheezing, etc. it could have been a feeding response, liquid from the mouse having thawed if it was f/t, or as you say from the water bowl.

    Keep an eye on it, and take note - literally! - for the next couple of feedings to see if there's saliva again.

    If it was a thick kind of smelly liquid its the snakes "drool" helps lubricate the meal, this happens especially if the meal is a little larger then normal, Whenever I up sizes of feeds for my snakes, they sometimes "drool", again you can usually smell it LOL

    No. He is acting the same as he always has.
