We just adopted our 5 yr old ball python. She has what appears as rat feet sticking out of her poop shoot (sorry for not knowing a technical term)(also she eats live rats, she won't take dead ones). I am wondering if I should gently pull it out to help her pass it so that she will eat again (she hasn't been wanting to eat and we think this may be the reason). She is moving around fine, comfortable with her environment and with us, very docile. Please help, first time snake owner. Thank you.
