This is a follow up on my thread https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...=1#post2718111
After following Deborah's advise, I went in to feed my 55g baby ball, non eater today, a live fuzzy mouse. Still no interest, and I did a brief health inspection. His cloaca seemed swollen, with the swelling also running maybe 2 cm towards his body. I gently pressed, and about 2 cm of white discharge along with some urine came out. The area inside the cloaca pushed out a bit looking like I have seen in videos of popping to determine sex. I emphasize, I only applied gentle pressure.
Is this normal, is it urates and poop, or is it illness. Was he constipated and not eating because of that, or is he ill and needs a vet?
His weight from when I got him 12 days ago hasnt dropped, although he is still tiny and hasn't eaten now for 5 weeks.
