    not my day pls help

    Ok earlier today in another post I described my snake as puffing up and letting out air like hissing or what not didn't think anything about it now I was doing something and heard like a gushing sound and looked in the cage and find what is either fluid from his cloaca or from his mouth not sure as to which one as I didn't see it just heard it and I called my vet and he isn't there for the week and they told me to just watch it till monday cause he is the only one who deals with exotic pets what could it be and any advice

    Also it did have the white chalky stuff so I'm guessing it came from the cloaca does fluid accompany the urates when it comes out sorry for not sounding technical but in a rush also could other stuff come out with the urates maybe a little poop or some other stuff the body didn't pass I'm just worried of it dying

    Stay calm, watch it. In the mean time check around for other vets, check your temperatures and humidity. Don't panic or get too stressed out it may not be anything.

    Yeah, there is always fluid with the urates. You know that smell? that is from the high ammonia content of that fluid.

    Yes, urine can come out with urates so that could be what it was.

    Re: not my day pls help

    Thanks everyone he seems to be ok actually hungry really I usually have him on newspaper but he keeps it torn up so when he did his thing I heard it against glass never heard it before cause the paper makes it quieter so that's probally why I freaked out and also could some sperm plugs come out to that may have been dried up or something

    Yup. Mine love to do that just that right after I spot clean their tubs. Always. I would worry about that sound (could be an RI), but the other issue just sounds like it was potty time.

    My snake "sneezes" all the time, I freaked out the first time I heard it but apparently it's normal. Weird animals.
