I purchased a male Mojo a couple of months back. Hes been a great little eater and just growing like a weed. I went to feed some of my 5 day feeders and was looking at him he looked like he swallowed a hot dog now most of the time we tell people that poop isn't that big of deal they do it when they do it. Well I got to looking at him and his lower 1/4th of his body was so tight that he couldn't even bend it and he was looking very uncomfortable.
I pick the little guy up and got to feeling around on him and the swelling was pliable till right at the vent there was a huge "knot". I started massaging that area down and before to long POP out pops this HUGE! urate then the flood gates broke and he peed so much that I could watch his little body shrink. If snakes could smile this one was grinning a huge smile of relief. I made sure he was good to go, offered him a little rat and all was well again
Just thought is was something I'd share since you don't run in to it that often.
