A number of years ago, I had a female Eryx conicus who was ovulating. I wanted a photo of her going through this and when I picked her up, a clear viscous fluid dripped out of her mouth and onto my arm. I figured she had just had some water and I had forced some out of her by handling her even though I was being extraordinarily gentle.



Then I smelled that fluid and I have to agree - it wasn't a pleasant odor at all.



I never had it happen again and she lived and bred for years thereafter.



I have always suspected it was simply reflux of some of her gastric juice. Maybe hers was clear because she hadn't eaten recently?



Whatever it was, it wasn't indicative of any sort of health problem and it never happened again.
