I think more or less this is what happened which caused a spit up of the water that she drank 45 seconds prior which was then inhaled hence the brief foaming and drooling.
I've been checking on her like every half hour / 20 mins since. She's came out to bask a bit on the hot side and then made her way back to her hide box. her tongue flicks / jaw alignment / breathing and demeanor are all back to 100 percent.

Re: WTF just happened?
They really are not bright snakes, it wouldn't shock me if she forgot to realign before going for the second rat. Glad she's ok, just keep an eye out for major swelling and get her to a vet right away if things regress.

My goodness... did you wait to give the second rat?
:S
That is my only suggestion, if you didn't do that (couldn't tell by your initial post; although not a very insiteful suggestion on my part). But what a freak incident. How would anyone even begin to imagine THAT happening...
I really hope s/he's okay now. You as well

my general rule of thumb is i wait until they put their head back down to rest and wait a few minutes past then. Checked her out this morning & held her for a long while. No inflammation, tenderness, or protective / aggressive behavior. my little girl's just fine haha
