i heve a sanke about 50g and is eating and shedding nicely but one day i noticed after feeding it a thawed mice that was soaking wet i saw water coming from the nose of my snake ( clear and water like ) could this be respiratory infection or just water from the mouse coming out of the nose similar to a person blowing water from its nose while laughling when drinking...?

If your snake seems fine otherwise and you haven't seen any more water from its nose, then I would have to agree with your assessment. But keep a closer eye on the snake for awhile, just as a precaution.

I would also suggest that you thaw your mice in a plastic bag to keep it dry.
