Should I be worried?

Water started dripping pretty profusely out of either the mouth or nose of my Northern Pine Snake. I couldn't tell which, it happened so quickly. I was handling her or I would have never caught it, and it was definitely just clear water. She is healthy otherwise, and just ate yesterday. She does drink a lot of water, and is active out of the cage. She doesn't breathe funny or anything like that either.

Did you bother the snake after it has drank water? Ive had that happen where i didnt know the snake was drinking water, and there ended up being some on my hands when i was playing with her.

So long as it wasnt happening.... for an extended amount of time * like still happening now* that could have been what happened. Vet is never a bad idea if you are worried, of course.

No, she just did it that one time. I warmed the room up from 75 to 80 just in case it had something to do with temperature though. Thanks.

Alicia has a 90% probable idea. Watch it for a couple of days, if it persists, then you've got a problem, if it was just that one time, it was probably just dribbling water.

If the fluid was viscous (slimy or thick) then you could have a problem.

If it tasted like cherries or vanilla, that's definite vet time. (j/k do NOT taste it)

Too late, that was the first thing I did!!! How do you think I knew it was water?
