So I got a request for a full from a Big Agent, but there was no mention of exclusivity. I'm still querying, obviously, but would it also be kosher to send out another full, if requested? Novice here...thx
Full request w/out exclusive--what to do?

Totally kosher. If they don't ask for an exclusive, you don't have to--and really shouldn't--even consider giving them one. 
Good luck!

Totally okay, from my point of view, as well. I'm in the same boat. I've had a full requested, with no request for exclusivity. I'll have more query letters out this week (time permitting). I'm a big believer in having at least three to five letters out at a time.
Keep querying. You'll thank yourself if the Big Agent turns your work down, and if it is good enough for a major agent to want to read it then other agents will too
It's better to have as many fulls out there as you can. If one gets rejected, then there are still others out there. And if more than one make an offer, than you have options. Good luck!
Totally okay. If they wanted an exclusive they would have asked for it. Keep querying and send out as many partials or fulls as you can. Good luck.
