    sick snake?

    I had my 07 het. albino female out today and clear liquid came out of her mouth.
    It was not bubbling out more like she was throwing up.
    her tube is 89 on hot side & 78 on cool side.
    Her breathing seens fine.
    Any info would help alot thank you.

    Humitiy is at 60% and she is feed every 5 to 7 days and a vary good eater.
    the liquid was like a thick water.

    Your temps are off. Warm side 92 and cool side 82. Sounds like an RI. Can you look inside the mouth?

    Raise your temps to where they need to be for these snakes and watch this one. Prepare for a vet appt Monday morning if you are unclear as to the status of her health

    78 is too cool.
    89 is too cool.
    If you are trying to keep her healthy, and keep a possible RI on the down-low until a reassessment on Monday, you need to raise the temps
    Off topic: Why are your temps fluctuating so much??
