    Just a thought, but is there any chance she had just taken a drink of water? From fine to pouring mucous in 24 hours seems to be a pretty extreme change to me. She would also likely be doing some serious mouth-breathing and gurgling at this point, if it is RI.

    I was thinking that too. Its always best to err on the side of caution, but this came up rather quickly.

    There is a thread where someones retic was drooling massive amounts, but it was just excess water from the stomach.

    I know I almost do it sometimes when I drink a lot of water and then bend over.:rolleyes:

    Thank y'all for posting back :))
    Sorry for taking so long to update... I had a super long weekend.
    Took her to the vet friday morning though, he thinks it had to do with the shed & said she had some dry shed in her mouth? I'm not sure exactly what he said.. My dad picked her up & talked to them. So, i still need to call & ask.
    She's fine though. No RI or anything.
    I guess i was just paranoid :) lol
    Better safe than sorry though, right? ;)

    This just happened to me with my boa the other day, actually. I don't blame you for freaking out, it scared me as well.

    It sounds like water mouth. I find mine drinking more just before a shed. RI does not just go away nor does it just appear in late stages over night. It really sounds like something else. Paranoid is not a bad thing, any illness caught early is better than late!

    I'm not sure if he said the dry shed caused the drooling, or just that she had some dry shed in her mouth.

    like i said, i still need to call and see exactly what they said :) lol
