[uma_and_bill]

Hello everyone, can anyone please help me, my boa is drooling

I made a major mistake of picking her up whe. She hasnt
Finished shedding, I've sprayed her tank and put her back while
I ask you guys, please help X

what kind of boa?
need pic's to help

[Gungirl]

My guess is that she has an Respiratory infection. What are your temps and humidity like? what type of sub-straight is she on? Could she have swallowed some sub-straight while she was eating? How old is she?

All of this will help us help you..

Any time one of my reptiles shows discharge, it's straight to the vet for them. Good luck.

[uma_and_bill]

Temp is about 80 and humidity is 70%, she's on orchid bark.
She's one year old , I do know she hasn't swallowed any substrate
because she's fed outside of the tank, she a BCI and has a
gentle temperament

I think you should up that temperature, but I'm not certain.
Someone should come along soon to clarify...

[Gungirl]

Temp is 80 on the hot or cool side?

Can you get a picture of the mouth for us?

[BarelyBreathing]

She needs a hot side of 90-95f. This should increase a little if there's a chance she could be sick.

[BarelyBreathing]

[alessia55]

try posting a pic of her mouth as it is now

[Terranaut]

Are there bubbles in the drool? Is she opening her mouth at odd times but only a little bit? Bubbles from her nostrils? If so she may have a bad infection. Get those temps up and humidity should be 65-75% if she is sick. Good luck. Lets see the mouth pics!

[unknownclown]

the only thing I can think of is RI just like the others here has she been anywhere cold lately? If she has RI you need to lower the humidity and up the heat asap

[totheend]

When you picked her up did she just have a drink???? That is what it sounds like to me. When you pick them up right after a drink sometimes they will drool a little.

The mystery is solve

Ok so Friday night we put her back in tank and decided to check her
out in the morning and if she was still drooling we'd take her to vets.
When we checked her out in the morning it was as if nothing ever happened
no snot bubbles, no drooling, nothing, usual slythery self.
She still had some shed on her tail so we decided to give her a bath
As my partner gave her a hand peeling her vent she let loose with a poop that looks like it could have come from a great Dane, mystery solved, she was backed up in major way, such a relief, but omg it stank lol

[alessia55]

ew that's disgusting :eek:
Glad you figured out and that she's ok though!!

[uma_and_bill]

I know man have you ever seen a snake pooP like that,I was in shock for about ten minutes lol

[Mamaroad]

our bp must have been backed up earlier this week also - i've never seen a snake expel like a freakin dog before!!! My husband told me to check for the cat to see if she had made the mess and then become a snack - lol

Glad your snake is ok - scary when you don't know what is happening with them.

[Terranaut]

My boas poop is big as bananas. A full grown man would be proud of what my 10lb boa can do. Glad it worked out.

[uma_and_bill]

Such a relief though I don't make a habit of putting pica of poo on the Internet
Lol

[SnakeyJay]

Congrats on solving the mystery... I'd still up the temps from 80 tho. Goodluck :)

[lady_bug87]

hah my boa poops huge all the time because she only poops every second meal sometimes every third. My BP craps bigger than my dog every 10 days
