Wow. I wouldnt take chances, just go set up n appointment with a vet. Honestly, it could be scale rot....

Can you post any pictures of this? It is really hard to say what it is at this point. I have never come across anything like this. Hoepfully someone will be able to help.

i already take my bp to take a bath....
but he bite me....
maybe he stress right now....

Hi,

Do you have any tape anywhere in his enclosure? Anything else sticky?

And aren't you supposed to be leaving him alone so he can de-stress in the hopes it will allow him to start eating?

no.....
just tape on the tank cover....
but impossible he can reach the tape because the tape is outside the box.....
yes i know but i just move it to clean his poo....

Sticky residue, what color? Like others have said, might be from tape possibly. Take a picture and post it, also take your BP to the Vet. You'll get a better understanding and clarification of what it is.

He has been told this before in another post actually I think by you when he posted about the snake biting him. I don't think he understands. Makes me worry about the snake!
