hey guys, chii has had these black spots on her underside since we got her from the reptile shop, tad unsure of what they are or if they are harmful to her. i nudged one of them and it seemed to move when i did, not as if anything was alive in it, just up her body then it sludged back down to where it was. she didn't seem bothered at all by me nudging it, no striking or defensive behavior.
Thanks for your help :) |

I love that diagram, was very good for helping my young nephew understand the insides of my snakes. Any questions on anatomy will be directed at you from now on!!!  |

Was still a good question, if you hadn't of asked you never would've known.
There could be many more that have had a similar question and don't need to ask now.
^^ This. Everyone was new to snake keeping at some point. Most people are still learning to this day  Dont feel daft. As said already, if you didnt ask you wouldnt have known what it was. xxx |

ok dont prod and poke at it, its the snakes inner workings  looks like a young snake so is still translucent so what you are seeing is the snakes organs. |

okey doke, just been holding her and towards her bottom and she let out some bright yellowy pus kind of pee stuff, is this pee or is it a worrying thing? thanks for the help obviously still new to it all :) but picking up on my research. how long does it normally take to pass through the system? iv had her about 4 weeks and they have been there since we got her. |

cant see to well in the pics but have these dark areas move down the body at all. my inital guess would be food/poo in digestion system |
