BP Leaking Water

Ok...so I'm fairly sure I know whats going on here. Just wanted to run it by you guys. Found one of my adult females this morning, freshly shed. Went to pull her out and clean her tub and was holding her for a couple minutes. As I was handling her, she started having drips of water come out her mouth. Not saliva, pure water. She did this several times. She isn't clicking, isn't holding her mouth open, not wheezing, she's been eating like a champ no issues. I've just never had this happen. I pulled her from the rack as a precaution and put her in quarantine. I'm guessing odds are she had just finished taking a drink after shedding right before I picked her up. I'm guessing she just finished shedding as she hasn't even pooped yet.

There was no sign of saliva in this water at all, I caught some in the tub for my scale and checked it out. Anyone had this happen?

It happens with all snakes.

She probably had just recently taken a drink.

Thats what I figured, I just didn't want to assume it and figure out I was wrong the hard way. Thks.
