HELP retained poop or extra bone ?

Hello everybody!
Today I noticed a lump near my bp's tail, I did some research in this and other forums (sorry if i didn't find it here :confusd: ) at first i thought it was some retained poop or something like that, the weird thing is that it almost feels like a bone ...
any thoughts or similar experiences ...
Thanks a lot and greeting from Mexico!

Here are some pictures

Looks like regular sausage butt (ready to poop) and the hard feeling is probably a urate (solid pee).

Yup. My little guy's got some sausage butt goin on right now. Any day now I'm sure he'll leave me a nice big pile of presents...

Mine has it, too. Which sucks, because I was cleaning out the cage today. LOL

thanks for the advice, i hope its only that :bow:

Sausage butt. Clean his cage, then he'll go. ;)

It's gonna blowww. Sausage butt is a sign of a well fed BP.

Cage cleaning is the number one cause of sausage butt explosions. If you never cleaned, they'd never know when to poop.


I like my Dubstep to go Wop Wop Wop Wop

Thanks everyone for the help... he finally pooped!!
Today i put him on warm water and 2 minutes later BOOM!!
water turned into ... yeah hahaha
so if u guys have that problem, i highly recommend doing that!
Thanks again!!
Saludos :D

Yup, some warm water usually is all it takes to release the beast.

Not surprisingly enough, not even an hour after my initial response to this post my little guy releases said beast all over his warm hide. Was a blast to clean it!

This does lead me to a question, though.. What is a good way to really clean a hide? I have a rock hide (I'll replace soon enough, but for now..) that I got from PetCo. I tried cleaning it with hot water before and without even any scrubbing the finish started rinsing off. So I don't like physically cleaning it anymore.. Any suggestions?

I use this style of hide from LLL Reptile. Easy to clean and disinfect. No rough surfaces to struggle with.

My ball python looked similar to that, and I did what you did. Put him under some warm water, couple minutes later it was coming out. xD

I use terra cotta pots I popped a side out of. It makes for a real cozy hide. There are people that use everything from a half log (I don't like them) to a special hard plastic hide you can get from reptile basics. I just get the terra cotta pots pop out a side so it makes a small opening then they have a good hide. They clean easy too lol.

Lol sausage buts yeah :) My normal picked on a weird habit of waiting with poo till we put him on our bed. Then he just explodes :P So after the second time he did that we bought a blanket which is plastic underneath for occasions like that :P

So he somewhat developed a habit out of it. Weird snake :P Doesn't want a smelly enclosure or something. He rather messes our bed up, and enjoys the show after when we have to change the bed again :rage: He hardly ever does it in his enclosure, i guess soft sheeting associates him with poo time :P
