respiratory infection or too much to drink?
no no, nellie doesn't like beer.right, so anyhow i got nellie out tonight and as she slithered over my arm and downward several drops of clearish fluid ran out of her mouth. so i thought oh hell, and ran to the bathroom with her where i could check her under bright lighting. she wasn't too keen on me attempting to pry her mouth open but several times a pretty decent amount of fluid came out while i was messing with her. it was totally clear, not really mucusy looking or feeling--not really thick at all. it looked and felt exactly like when one of my anoles drinks a bunch of water too fast and then jumps around--a bit of clearish fluid like that will leak out of his mouth when he hits whatever it is he jumped on--it's almost like a little water regurgitation. so i'm wondering if maybe nellie had just drank a bunch of water and me getting her out and her being positioned head downward could have stimulated the same sort of water regurg thing. from what i could tell the inside of her mouth didn't look red or inflamed at all but there were some clear water bubbles.
what do you all think?
