As for eurates, i've seen a few. First when she was on walnut shell, some nice white blotches being soaked up. As for poops, she hasn't really pooped, but none of my hogs really poop alot, and if they do they busy it quickly. she has pooped a few times in her water dish (only reason i know this is because it makes the whole room smell like dead rat and the water turnes a nice greenish color.). But, yes, she is bloated up to her vent. It looks like she had just laid eggs. Not alot of bloating, but it's noticable to me and only my 3 females bloat at all.
I will definintely soak her. Will giving her a little olive oil on her food to help flush things out be a bad idea?
Thanks so much for the help so far, guys!
Hmm, I don't know the liver properties of a snake to know if that could be healthy, useless, or dangerous to the snake. I'd say wait and see if anyone can chime in with a true answer before you do that.
Give her a few soaks, if her waste is looking green, that might mean a vet appointment is due. She could also have parasites from the newt. (seems likely that a water dwelling animal would transfer more nasties easily)
Soak her and see if the bloating goes down. Good luck!
