    Were you able to get an appointment with your vet?

    Does the discharge seem to be coming from the tail portion of the vent or the body side?

    Can't really say to be honest. And I'm not sure if "discharge" is the correct word. Its got the consistency of wet boogers (Literally EXACTLY the same consistency, sorry for the crude example) with the same coloration. Also it is not frequent whatsoever nor is it accompanied by blood, more "discharge" or anything unusual. Since this occured a month ago also, if it was some type of infection, it should have gotten worse, much worse, by now but it has not.

    Yeah, I'm stumped.

    Did you make the appointment today?

    I thought you said you had to use tweezers to pick out the gooey stuff. Did it come from the tail side or the body side?

    Please don't assume anything when it comes to diagnosing issues with your snake. A simple blood test will confirm or rule out an infection.

    Good Luck!

    Yes, when I called I asked if they could answer a question for me first. They said "sure" so when I asked, the vet said that he's seen it multiple times and that it is nothing to worry about. Its a natural process. He said that he would be glad to see her and probe her but that based on what i told him (I gave him a very detailed description) he knew it was natural.

    1.0 Patternless Goini Florida Kingsnake (Loki, yes he EARNED that name )
    1.0 Amel Cornsnake (Vesuvius)
