I noticed this evening that while handling one of my females that she was "drooling". She had a fair amount of slobber running out of her mouth. I took her to the vet on 3/1/06 because of the same symptom and because I could hear her "popping" when she breathed. He looked her over and said it "might" be early signs of URI but said that there was a minimal amount of fluid in the back of her mouth but that she wasn't showing typical signs of URI. We put her on antibiotics anyway(4 injections) and bumped her temps and humidity. All seemed well for the past couple of weeks...until tonight. I noticed that she had her head proped up in the corner of her tub and we took her out. That's when we noticed fluid dripping from her mouth. There's a chance she's gravid (my first); I don't know if that makes a difference. I'm not sure what's up and would appreciate any thoughts or suggestions from you seasoned herpers. She still feeds like crazy and by all other appearances in very normal. I just checked and noticed that her water level is way down from this morning, so maybe she just guzzeled a bunch of water. Thoughts/suggestions?



Thanks in advance,
