    Your snake looks like he's starting his shed cycle. Their bellies tend to get a bit pink.. you should notice him getting darker and duller, too. Make sure your humidity is correct so he has a good shed.

    And that's poop and urates.

    That's poop and pee. Clean it up and leave him alone for a week at least, he's shedding.

    Re: Please help me. I think my bp is sick

    Hehe, someone posted this boa caresheet on another thread. Go about a third of the way for pics of snake poo and pee.

    Snake poo looks like - poop. My 600g BP is leaving 2-inch logs of the stuff. Nice little presents for me to clean up. My little BP is still absorbing most of the mouse and is just leaving little brown and white dots.

    Whoops, forgot to post the URL: http://www.redtailboas.com/general_c...eral_care.html
