Just wanted to know if this was normal.

My ball jinx was just finishing up a shed and had a few little pieces of skin left so i got a warm paper towel and was gently rubbing it down his body loosening up the dead skin when i noticed his rectum was kind of swollen then suddenly these two little green things shoot out with a little urine and i wanted to know if i should be worried or not.

Uh, I've never heard of something like this maybe Someone who has can help you but that does not sound normal one but I would take it to a vet... But like I said I'm not sure what it is... So wait for someone who has heard of this to chime in.

ill post a picture because it kinda of looks like poop but still not sure

sounds like it's urates.
Has the snake not eaten in a while/reguilar ? this can cause the green look because the bowels are empty and bile mixes with the pee.

someone else can probably explain that a bit better

I had to ask the same question myself that's the only reason i know, I'm sure there is a more scientific explanation haha! Mine was the same off food for the breeding season.

It should go back to normal when it's feeding properly, If it doesn't then it may be a liver problem and needs blood tests from a vet but as far as i was lead to believe this is very rare and almost always is down to not eating properly.

I have odd looking urates when my snakes are off feed. Its totally normal.
