I just received a 5' male bp from an owner that could no longer take care of it. I don't know anything about it's previous condition, but when I took it home and quarantined it, it spent 3 days soaking in and under water, drinking almost constantly. When I got him he was calm, but very dry, I don't know if he was just dehydrated- but we got him out and handled him a bit a few days after he had gotten used to his cage- and he pooped all over my girlfriend. Totally unexpected since he hasn't eaten in over a month; and we don't really know if it was urates or what? Sorry if this gets a bit graphic for some of you... just skip over this post. The feces or whatever it was was white/yellow balls and a stenchy liquid. My other bp's have had urates that look like this, but the new guy had almost snake diarrhea-
What do you think is wrong with him? He seems fine, explorative and cozy enough, and not soaking quite as much before. Was he just badly dehydrated and over-compensated?
Apart from this question (instead of posting another topic),
if I have to temporarily house two bp's together (I know... taboo, but only Temporarily), I have a 5' male, and a 2.5' male and female. Will the larger harm the smaller ones? Do I have to worry about the 6 month old female becoming gravid- I know she is no where near breeding size- will they still do their snake thing and put her in danger?
