Worse case scenario, prolapsed cloaca or infected hemipene if male. Either way start implementing some immediate changes to the enclosure as you already have. Switch to paper towels after you disinfect that enclosure with a 1:10 part solution of bleach to water and rinse the enclosure well before placing him or her back in. Light warm soaks in separate tub with betadine in the water so the water is tea colored. This is just a preliminary basic treatment. Consider a herp vet soon. Consider Neosporin ointment in between the betadine soaks. Good luck. Stay in peace and not pieces. A.C. :gj:

Please disregard everything this person said. Cleaning with a bleach mix, betadine water soaks and neosporin?? really....:colbert:. My guess is its poop or sometimes the Urate can be a bit big and can be hard to pass, but it will pass. You can gently massage your snake while holding his lower half in some luke warm water and you will be able to feel the hard urate ball in there. Plus the massage will help him pass the stool.

Everyone's input was appreciated. Thanks. I think it's just poop, he didn't poop his last meal yet but he recently urinated last night, all I found was a chunk of white stuff.. not the regular brown poop lol.
