Hmm... kind of worried.
So I was just holding my snake when I felt a drop of water on me. Then another and another. I look at my snake and it looks like she's drooling. What's goin on?

Re: Hmm... kind of worried.
First off I would make sure that her mouth is clear and there is no wheezing, but barring that, it's possible your snake had just a a drink of water. Keep a close eye on her and make sure it's not a respiratory infection. Here's a link of something similar. If you get more concerned definitely take her into a herp vet. Better to be safe than sorry. Here's the link!

Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand

Re: Hmm... kind of worried.
some of the symptems of respiritory infection are popping, or wheezing, a inflated throat, and raised head. it sound to me(unless any of these symptoms are present) that it just took a drink of water. if your snake does have these symptoms, in all but the mildest cases you should see a vet. to correct RI just raise the temps about 5 degrees, thats how i took care of my females RI when she hade it.

Re: Hmm... kind of worried.
one of my bps has done that to me a few times. i must have picked her up right after she took a drink of water and kind of like a little kid she just drooled on me a bit. like the others said just check for any signs of an RI and as long as there are none most likely your snake will be just fine.
