>>Hello, It's a long story but.........I was called by the local animal shelter......they have a 10 ft. male boa....HUGE! It's wants to kill everyone......MEAN AS HELL!When I arrived his mouth was busted up and bleeding from strikes against the cage. OK........heres the symptom I need help with. He has BLACK gooey foul smelling stuff coming out of both hemipenes. I relieved him of as much of that stuff as I could. I cleaned him up ( he smelled BAD), and treated his mouth. He's also going into shed too. He is now puppy dog tame in 24 hours. DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE BLACK GOO HE IS EXCRETING FROM HIS HEMIPENES?? I want to help this neglected guy as much as I can.
>> Thanks, HB
