Hey guys

I need some advice again, so today i moved my T chevron from her old housing into a new tank, now after she decided that she had enough walk about on my hands (amazingly) it was rather a struggle to get her into her new tank, it was as if she didn't feel it was nice enough for her lol well anyways, i noticed later this evening (after her move) that there seemed to be some kind of clear fluid being excreted by her, now i had a closer look at her and i cant see any ruptures on her body nor can i see the source of this clear fluid??? please help me guys i don't know if she's hurt or not any suggestions will be awesome

Stats:
Size: 2" and a bit
Last moult: exactly 6 days ago
Last feed: last night
Condition: she's a fatso at the moment


Thanks

Where did u find the fluid? Is it on her body at all? Leg joints? Has she recently molted? Or was it a kind of pool of clear fluid left behind somewhere by her?

Ah ... I'm sorry I missed the "last molt 6 days ago" ... well that is a little soon to be already moving and rehousing her tbh

Where was the fluid located? At a joint or at the fang/mouth area?

If at the fang/mouth area it most likely was "spit" or saliva as they commonly regurgitate fluid and use it in grooming.

My H. lividium does this regularly where she'll appear to have a massive drop of clear liquid from her mouth that she'll grab her legs and using her fangs draw through in the process of grooming.

Just wondering if this was what was happening.
