New girl

[hypnotixdmp]

So I was checking on my new girl and I don't know if she just got over excited or what but she had clear mucus looking stuff coming out of her mouth like she was drooling, but it didn't have the consistency of spit. She showed no signs of this the whole time I was holding her at his house and I saw many others who also had no signs of this. She sounds like she's breathing really heavy, but I don't know if this is RI or what.....also, there is nothing around her nostrils either it only came out of the mouth...

Is it possible she had just gotten a drink? Or has something stuck I'm her mouth? And someone correct me if I'm wrong, because I'm not positive, but I believe stress can be enough trigger an RI.

Would it start to go away on its own after the 5 day mark(just an estimated number)???? She did slam down a rat right when I put her in her new home to get used to it, could it be she was maybe gonna regurge it at all??? I'm sorry I've never had this happen to anything in my collection so it's 100% new to me...

Also just called a vet but the reptile dr won't be in till 11, left them a message and they should call me back around that time.

Ok, so for now I put her in a clean tub with new newspaper and removed her water dish as I know lowering humidity can help in drying it up a bit.

Relax first of all. It sounds like she may just have got done taking a drink and you startled her. My snakes have drooled out water already when I accidentally scared them after taking a long drink.

Lol I'm sorry I got carried away there. I just talked to the vet and she says that it could have also maybe been because I had fed her earlier and it was the juices that help start the digestion process. I think this is exactly the case tbh. But then I finally talked to the guy I got her from and he said it could have been as you said, water, as I checked her again a little while ago and tiny itty bitty little drops came out, so I touched it and it felt watery and not slimy or gooey in any way. That's a good sign right?

Yes, that would be a good sign to me. Your snake is fine and will be fine.
