I have never had a BP drool before. I checked for an RI, but there is no popping noises, no wheezing, no bubbling, no head raising nothing. Being that I have had snakes with RIs, usually ones that I had just purchased drooling is the last sign of a severe RI. Popping a mucus smearing is the first, but there is none of that. But she is still eating, and I hold her at least every two days and have not noticed anything out of the ordinary with her or any of my other snakes. I checked her mouth and there is not bubbling or mucus. I will be watching her and we have set her up in our quarantine cage. I will make a vet appointment on Monday as everything is closed today but having some advice until then would be nice.

So what would cause drooling if not an RI? I am not saying it's not, but it just doesn't seem like a typical RI to me.

And I have another problem. This BP I have actually sold... well I received a deposit and the new owner is supposed to pick her up on Monday. I have no issue on telling her that the snake might be sick, but I really do not know how to tell her to the point of losing the sale. Is there anyone who can give me advice on what to say to this girl who is purchasing her?
