I have a female BP about 2.5 years. I fed her a live medium rat about 3 days ago. She is a picky eater and will not eat f/t only live. I left the rat in over nite and she ate it. I was just inspecting her today and notice her mouth doesnt seem like it is lining up correctly. Her "lips" in the front of her mouth are not meeting. She also has some mucus secreting from her mouth. I used a q-tip to open her mouth to look for mouth rot and found no signs, but she practically "drooled" on me. The rest of my BP in the rack seem fine, and they are not being cooled so I see no signs of RI. Any ideas?
