Unhappy retic regurgitating water? please help!

I previously had this thread for her! http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/giant...-my-retic.html

I fed her 5/28 around 11pm and she had pooped in her enclosure so i used the hook to slightly pick her up(avoiding the lump from the rat) and move her body so i could clean the area, when i did this she began spitting up a watery, smelly substance, there were no solid pieces though. And the liquid was extremely clear. It came up in sections so not all at once... she soaked in the water dish the first 3 days... her bedding is forest floor. Her daytime hot spot is 93F provided by a ceramic heat emitter, night time its at 87F. Her cool side is 76F, 72F at night.

I have a plastic water dish large enough for her to soak in, a week before i got her i used a 1 to 10 ratio of bleach and water and cleaned the tub, rinsing it several times then letting it dry out for 6 days before i got her.

When she did eat the jumbo rat she dragged it into the water dish and held it under water for about 10 mins before eating it then she began to eat it underwater...

Im wondering if maybe she drank too much before i tried hooking her up? Or maybe inhaled water while eating the rat and its coming from her lungs? Any advice is much appreciated!
