I noticed while taking a picture that my male has a weird problem I hadn't come across anywhere before: Feces get stuck to the scales around the cloaka. I know it's going to cause, or might already have caused an infection in that area. Once the poo dries it becomes really hard and won't come off with water.
It looks nastier in the picture below, than in reality, but it's still bad. The big whitish chunk came off almost by itself seconds later.
The snake is active and has been eating fine. The only cause that comes to mind, is a partial impaction or complications from a failed shed, but it hasn't even had a partially failed shed since winter, when the humidity occasionally dropped below 30%.
Couldn't get a hold of a vet that could treat reptiles anywhere near here, but I'm going to call one some 60km away that specializes in them first thing on Monday morning. Yeah, I knew
something was going to happen to my snakes. Everything was going too smoothly.
