what kind of boa?
need pic's to help

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.

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 · 01-20-12, 05:12 PM

Temp is 80 on the hot or cool side?

Can you get a picture of the mouth for us?

BarelyBreathing · 01-20-12, 05:15 PM

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

try posting a pic of her mouth as it is now

Terranaut · 01-20-12, 08:21 PM

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!

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

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.
