What's wrong with my Columbian?

Could be a respiratory infection if it's got that much fluid... get it to the vet ASAP!

Again, I've seen clear non-mucousy liquid come pouring out of a snake's mouth and had it diagnosed as pneumonia before.

Your mucous/snot isn't the same consistency all the time, is it?

This is, unfortunately, a classic example of why so many reptiles either die or suffer long-term effects of illnesses. :-[

As fr0glet pointed out, THERE IS NOTHING NORMAL about copious amounts of fluid emanating from a snakes mouth!

You asked a question, you were given a very honest answer (seek veterinary care), but you wish to ignore it because it (obviously) isn't the answer you wanted to hear.

Although I can't tell you for sure what is wrong, I CAN assure you that something is wrong. Hope for the best all you want, but do what is needed for the snake. Either that or give it to someone who can.

No! It could not have been wavelengths, digital interference, or anything else related to your CRT aside from possibly stress! And even stress doesn't cause a bunch of liquid to come pouring out of your snake, that may have been what happened when he tried to hiss!

Save your money and get him medical care! I don't doubt that it needs the additional humidity as well, hell that may even be the cause of your potential respiratory infection. There's just no way for a bunch of people on the internet to diagnose what's wrong with your snake but
I sure as hell have seen snakes dump a bunch of fluid out of their mouths and had it diagnosed as pneumonia. Have you found an experienced local reptile vet yet? Done any research on where to find one?

If you post your cage dimensions/substrate/ambient temp/basking temp/average humidity/night time temps/feeding habits/etc you might get some feedback on what went wrong, but that still won't fix your snake!

Demonstrate your respect of my suggestion by getting the snake qualified vet care and letting us know what the vet says. No offense, but I feel very strongly about this! Neither you nor any of us is qualified to determine what course of care will fix this snake's problems without a thorough examination, nor what it's problems are.

Hope for the best all you want, just take action to make the best happen. My mother said hope for the best, plan for the worst, and expect nothing.
