Thank you for your reply, Old Herper!



No, there are no other symtoms...She's active and appears healthy in every other way. I haven'y actually seen her express this milky fluid...I just couldn't imagine it coming from anywhere but her vent! LOL! If it was coming from her mouth or nose, I thought I'd see some evidence on her face so I ruled that out.



I haven't been holding her very much...she's always been a moody one. She bit the crud out of me when I was picking her out at the store but I knew she just hadn't been handled enough and I bought her anyway. I wanted to take it slow with her. As a general rule, I try to hold each of my snakes at least every other day. But, because she had eaten, I didn't hold her for a couple days to let her digest...then, the next thing I knew, she was getting ready to shed and was "nervous" again. And, now this weird thing going on is "telling" me to give her some space. The most I've done was picked her up to make sure she wasn't laying on any potty or this mystery stuff in her bark. I'm picky about clean cages.



I wrote Brian Smith about this too. He suggested that it was reabsorbtion and digestion of egg material...It is spring and she didn't mate. It could very well be that I was worried over nothing but I'll keep a close eye on her and see.
