Well, I'll just say that, having kept many monitor species, I have never witnessed that type of drooling...the closest thing to an exception being a large WC water monitor (I don't recall seeing it LTCs). He would sometimes get some drool going, but never to the extent of dripping...it did result in some discoloration of the mouth area near shedding, though. This was quite some time ago, and I don't recall specifics of WHEN or WHY it occurred.
I'm curious about the degree of drooling, though, as despite working with many rescues and fresh imports, I never saw anything that matches the picture you are painting...even those that came from very bad conditions and needed lots of TLC.
