Re: Dingleberry
Hello gentlemen,
Putting a bit of mineral oil on a q-tip, then rubbing it thorougly on/around (and possibly under, if you're able to manage it) the cloacal scale will help to soften and remove the crystal. It also helps to soften future crystals and should ease their passage.
In case you haven't already started from "ground zero," be sure to wash and disinfect the water dish (use bleach or your favorite bacteriacidal solution). You might even replace the normal water dish for a few days with a small bowl or lid with a water/electrolyte/vitamin solution. The only reason I suggest a small container is so that you don't have to use as much electrolyte/vitamin solution. Also, double-check the temperature of the enclosure's floor. Sometimes overheating can "bake" feces/urates and lead to problems. Glad you and your snakes are still around, Stefan, and I'm sure all will turn out well. Cheers,
Rick
