    Weird Looking Thing Near Tail
    I was handling my female baby (breeder said 2 months) BP today, and noticed that she's pretty fat around, and her tail is teeny. Then there was a scale or something that looked like it was open or something. I'm a first time owner so I'm really curious as to what this is.
    She also peed on me, so idk if that's relevant or not. Lol.

    Sounds like sausage butt (getting ready to poop). That’s probably the vent you’re seeing open because she’s working on a present for you. 💩💩💩

    Could definitely be it! About five days since her last feeding.

    Without a picture it's hard to say. However, since you said she peed, I believe you were just seeing her vent slightly open. If that's the case, nothing to worry about.

    When ate last doesn't mean anything. They go 3/4 weeks without going easy. Sometimes twice in 2 days.. Its a guessing game. Not to worry.

    The larger scale where the opening is between the body and tail? Called the anal plate, the opening is the cloaca or vent. That is where they eliminate waste and facilitate sexual reproduction.

    Not sure if that's what you meant

    Yeah that's definitely it. Like I said she peed on me, that's probably why it was looking that way.
