Hi all..
I went to check my burm as I do everyday and noticed he had pooped, so my 1st thought "time to clean" Well normally when I clean his cage I put him in the bath to let him soak so I did just that. I went to go clean cage, then when I was done I went to go get the burm and let him crawl around outside of cage for a bit.. well when I opened the lid to his "bath box" it scared him and he hissed and as he was hissing he went under the water. I picked him up and he calmed but he was like "drooling" what appeared to be a mixture of water and mucus(sort of like when we have phlegm from a cold) Well he has never done this before and I got worried. Should I be? or did he just get water in his hose like we do if we go under and dont close our nostrils? Any info would eb great, thanks!

After drinking, soaking or what not alot of snakes will drool a bit. Now if he hasn't had any water and he's drooling there is a problem.

That's what I suspected but wasn't sure as I have never had a snake drool like that before. Thanks for the info.
