watery yellow urate?

[Shelby]

As you may know, my adult female dumerils boa has an RI. I checked on her this evening to see if she had finished shedding, and when I was moving her with the snake hook, she started.. well, farting. I looked to see what she was doing, and she left a urate that had milky yellow liquid and some white chunks.. though not very solid. This isn't what I'm used to seeing, though I usually see the urate after the liquid urine part is dried/soaked in.

Anyone know if this means anything? She is going to the vet tomorrow..

How'd the vet visit go? I hope everything went well!

Just got back.. vet probed her as a 'he', but admitted that she had a female-like stubby tail. 7'+ and 21lbs seems a bit large for a male dumerils too. Dums may be one of those species where females probe deeper than normal. I'm going to e-mail my burm's breeder and ask, as he breeds dums too.

I got an antibiotic (amakacin) for her RI. He said she looks in good shape and her mouth wasn't bubbly or red so it looks good for her.

lol, well i guess we can forget about those baby dumerils presents! good to hear that you got some antibiotics and he looks good though.

I'm not convinced that it's male.

The breeder I got the snake from keeps ONLY dumerils.. I think they'd know! They're selling off all of their breeding stock, it's likely they have produced babies from this snake before.
