    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?

    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!

    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.

    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. :)
