Re: BP Drooling??
If everything is good at the vet. Do you remember if he was drinking any water before you picked him up. My first ball python i was told to not bother him for a few days after eating. I never thought about water. Well i picked him up right after he just had a big drink. When i had him out he started the same type of thing i did take to the vet just in case nothing was wrong with mine.

Re: BP Drooling??
When we were at the vet he looked in the back of her mouth and saw that there was a build up of saliva just sitting in the back of her mouth. He said that it was a good sign of pneumonia. I'm really not sure if she had taken a drink before getting her out because we had just gotten home and immediately got her out.

Re: BP Drooling??
Have you done the injection yet? Did they demonstrate how to do it for you?
Its a fairly trickly little procedure and the snake won't sit still for it. I had to do this for mine but I was lucky enough to have help from some experienced keepers. Definately get some help holding her down!
(btw, my BP never looked like he was drooling but he was always wiping his mouth on the furniture in his cage)

Re: BP Drooling??
yeah the vet demonstrated how to give the injections. He also charged us 24 bucks to show us..nice guy.. He's the only person in town that would even look at exotic animals. We've given her 3 ourselves so far. It was pretty tricky the first few times.
