I was cleaning out my female royal today and a big piece of saliva came from her mouth.
She shed last night I was wondering if it could be something to do with that?
My first thoughts was RI but she shows no other signs. No noises in great health, pounding Rats regular.
Any thoughts? |

| If you tip them head down then gravity can make saliva run out of them, it shouldn't be too much though. I'd just keep an eye on her, I'd even go as far as to have a look in her mouth (I seem to be telling everyone this today) it cant hurt. |

| Funnily enough when the saliva did come out she was head down. No it wasn't alot quarter of a tea spoon maybe just thick. I have been sitting and listening to her in the viv her nostrils are clear and nothing else seems untowards. I really am not worried about her health wise was just a shock TBH with never seeing this before. I will keep a eye though as you suggest. Being new to royals I am sure I will experience more things that surprise me. |
