    What is this on my bp?

    I was checking on all the snakes a min ago. This guy had used the bathroom so got him out and cleaned it up. Was checking him over and I saw this down his side? It looks almost like dirt to me. I tried rubbing it off, but nothing comes off. I have no clue. I just got him a week ago.

    Yea I was thinking maybe he got in the poop some. He is on aspen bedding. I'll try to see if a wet paper towel will get it off.

    I was thinking substrate staining as well, maybe from the prior owner's care?

    Ok, that's definitely not aspen, hahaha. So I'm guessing poop. A warm damp cloth should do the trick.

    The "dirt" is between the scales, so I think it's just hard to wipe off, as whatever you use skims over the scales without getting all the way into the "crevices".
    And in a warm cage, I'm sure it got dried on.

    BTW, I believe the technical term for this is "schmutz".
