Could be "baby butter"

How big/old is he, are there females close by?

Probable sperm, what they call a sperm plug, throw him in with a famale if you have one ready.

Did it look anything like this? The part touching the finger is the crusty shed. The snotty stuff is the "baby butter".

Yeah, I agree. I didn't know what it was at the time. I found that was just the begining of gross things that can come with keeping snakes. I'm not sure if snake goo on my arm is worse than "braining" an broth soaked pinky in hopes of convincing a baby to eat!
I'm sure you must have your share of gross stories!

Yeah, I think we all have our share of gross stories. It's amazing where they manage to get their poop!!!

My worst was realizing my 17 year old boa had died. She musta passed in her sleep cause she was in a normal looking coil/pile. But the cage heat had done it's job and when I opened the door I damn near puked. The stench was almost unbearable.
