Re: Help ME
How old and how much does she weigh? By any chance have you had her in with a male? Pics would be nice.

She is only half a year old maybe older and lives with another female her same size, i dont have pics what i did today was took a probe and opened her butt hole open and worked what ever it was to the buttom and what came out was a nice maybe two half dollar size puddle of water so i guess it was fluid but why does this happen where BP's get filled with fluid

...Well I assume she still drinks water, which means she can still pee...I don't really get why needing to pee is confusing. Lol
Just a little reccommendation, you should house your snakes seperately :)That is probably why she is "lazy" and "not eating". I assume the other one in with her eats normally.
