How old is your ig?
How much water does he take in?
Sometimes breeding season can bring this on, but so can intestinal parasites. If this continues for more than a week take a fecal sample in to the vet and see if he has worms. With so much fluid exiting, he may need some extra hydration. Mist his food a little extra.
An experienced herp vet may just tell you exactly what it is...or isn't.

Your English is fine! Don't worry about that, but just because your boy was diagnosed parasite free then, that was a long time ago. You can bring these things in on your shoes and he walk across the creepy crawlies you unintetionally brought in.
Igs should have yearly checkups just to catch things before they get bad. Igs a very good at hiding illness and injury until they are really sick.
The thick saliva tells me he may be dehydrated. Foam/bubbles may mean a respiritory problem. You may need to add some water by putting in a syringe (without the needle) and "force" fluid into him gently making sure you add it to the back of his mouth since his wind pipe starts under the front of his tongue.
Make an appt. for him and see what's going on. Get a red blood cell count and this will tell if he has an infection. The vet can then medicate accordingly.

WOOT! Glad to hear it's an easy fix! And Spyro is a fine name for a girl...  Unless you want to go with something like Spyra. |
