I noticed this last night, and didn't really think anything of it. But while handling her this evening its still there and I have no idea what it is.

Here's a pic:



Its the little brown flaky thing coming out of her vent. Not knowing what it is, I gave it a small little tug, and it feels like its coming up from her cloaca. And it really feels like its in there, so I stopped touching it.

Here's two more pictures:



I circled this one so you guys can see it better.



Does anyone know what it might be? Old skin? If held up to the light its pretty see through. Could it be remnants of her umbilical cord? Mind you she's an 8 year old snake.

I just noticed it last night, but I don't know how long it could have been there because I never really look into that area around the vent.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I honestly have no idea what it could be.
