    I have never heard of a healthy Ball that drooled a lot. What makes you say he is healthy? Has he been to see a herp vet?

    BP don't drool!

    Increased salivation can be mouth rot, which need to be treated with anti-biotic

    Either way no one can diagnose online so an appointment with a Herp vet is in order http://www.arav.org/USMembers.htm

    Ouch; I think that snake definately needs to see a qualified herp vet. This is not normal.

    What did your herp vet suggest as a course of treatment for the mouthrot? Are the snakes living one per enclosure or together?
