Ok.... This is the first time that this has happened and we are a bit scared.... Our Albino came out for a stroll with us and all of the sudden started "drooling" this thick clear liquid from her mouth..... she did this for about 1min.... and now that we put her back in the cage she is seeming to want to rub her head on anything... this is not a normal pattern for her.... can someone help us? Thanks a million

My ball python did the same thing before. Its fine and ate that same day as a matter of fact. As long as the liquid doesnt have the smell of bile or stomache fluid i wouldnt worry too much unless it continues to the point where its out of hand. Take it to a vet if you can just to get expert advice. But hey my opinion is snakes drool sometimes hehe.

It sounded like she had a gargling noise coming from her.....

Was there any pressure on her at the time. like squeezing?

No there was no pressure on her at all.... she was resting on my fiances shoulders as she does day after day

I dunno. Mine had drank a good bit of water before and i think thats what triggered it. But like i said the first thing i did was give it a bit of a wiff (gross i know hehe) to see if it was from his stomache. If it has that nasty stench to it then its regurgitating fluid. If not im guessing just an extra bit of saliva.

thanks for the help.... gonna keep watch on her....

.

Keep her at 90 degrees at all times,.. up her humidity to 85 or 90 percent at all times! If you don't know her humidity go get a humidity indicator at Target or Walmart for 15 bucks. Also get a spray bottle and mist her with water several times a day to maintain a very high humidity. Keep her stress to an absolute minimum! In other words, don't hold her until she shows full improvement. Don't even feed her during this time. Many will tell you to rush her to a vet, but I have treated many snakes with antibiotics over the last 25 years and not once did I ever see a case where the antibiotic worked 100% and cured the ailment. But I have witnessed the above advice erradicate minor respitory infections in more than one incident.

Sorry bout that swara. Thanks brian.

It's near impossible to "diagnose" something from a couple of typed sentences. But from the word "Gurgle" (he said "gargle" but I took this as "Gurgle" That tells me RI! And besides,.. my advice to maintain at 90 degrees and very high humidity is how they are supposed to be kept anyway,.. so no harm, no foul,. you know?

But just so everyone understands the importance of high humidity,... I theorize,.. and a few very knowledgeable "friends" of mine have very similar theories,... that the lung tissue of a tropical species, be they boas, pythons, or whatnot, have evolved to require high humidity levels to remain moist..... and that when they are kept in a very arid region of the world their lung tissue dries and possibly cracks, creating fissures whereby infectious agents, (bacterial, viral) may make entry into their systems and cause serious infection. However, in high humidity environments the lung tissue should remain moist and pliable and more resistant to these very same agents or contaminants. Face it, bacteria is everywhere, but whether it can have a foothold in our snakes may be entirely up to us.

Maybe my "friends" will throw in their thoughts on this as well and we'll have more data to work with to try to establish a precident.

I have seen this happen as well but I concluded that it was water and digestive juices. You recently fed your burm and you picked it up and the fluid came out, right? There is a build up of juices and water in the digestive tract then. Burms do not have any mechanism to prevent these fluids from running back out if picked up and that is what you saw. Nothing to be alarmed by but you do need to avoid picking up your burm for several days after eating.
