    Thinking vet ASAP :(

    So my big carpet girl is having issues . It seems to just have started today, she pooped over the night but she has what seems to be a small golfball still lodged in there little ways up from the vent she seems tender in that area and its a solid object. She's also been soaking all day I gave her a bigger tub to soak in and everything. I'm worring bout her i got her as a rescue almost a year ago and she just starting to become a garbage disposal and has become my fav in my collection! so gonna call the only herp vet I know off in a 80 mile radius. It's a hr and a half away so hoping if it comes to that he can help..

    It just sounds like a urate and she is soaking because that helps loosen things up and get more moisture and make it easier to pass. I don't keep carpets so wait for others to reply, but that is what it sounds like to me.

    It's probably urates. She should eventually pass it if she soaks. There is a possibility it's stool, though. I had that happen to a Boa I had. I ended up taking her to the vet for an enema.

    I was hoping its just stool or something I could be over reacting cuz how she came to me.. The tenderness is what had me worried ill check on her and see if it has moved down towards the vent once I get off in the morning

    Yep. She soaked an soaked, it took bout two days then I woke and checked on her and she passed it. It was a weird urtius and be mixture that more or less formed a rock solid ball little smaller than a gold ball. She's been soaking since I haven't noticed anything that would be a worry she's going into shed now so ill look her over once she does it.

    Yep it was a relief when it passed I put on gloves an picked it up and it was solid sphere. She seems good now I handled her couple times since dont see any discomfort she's darkening up right now tho an is loving on her new water tub so once she sheds ill snap a pic. I should have taken one of that ball!
