Raindrop is at 85 days pos today!An I just went back to my room to check on everybody's heat an humidity as usuall!An i noticed that she had used the bathroom,she hadn't done this since her pos,I have fed her every 2 weeks[small rat]but she hadnt used the bathroom,I thought this was normal,so I didnt think nothing of it!Their was alot of fluid an what looked like 2 large hard peices of urate a turd an some green slimey stuff!Is this normal?She is in a 55 gallon tank should i move her to clean it or wait till she moves to just clean that area?Is this a sign that babies will be coming soon or is it too earlly an all i am going to get is sluggs?Any Help will be greatly appriciated Thanks Eric[Hypoboa]

Seems normal even if she is pos. Sometimes urates are yellow, white or green on an occasion. Don't worry about it too much. My male even does that sometimes when he's "backed up". Nothing to worry about.

Eric-

Hey Eric well with her being that pregnant i would think it is a sign that she is going to give you some babies soon... All our females will give us urates about a week prior to birth. And the boa constrictor manual by Philippe de Vosjoli also states this.. I would worry that she is a little early since the book also states that a litter of all slugs can be expected one to two weeks earlier than a fully developed litter... BUT i wouldnt worry about it.. Just clean the area and continue to wait and watch and get up at 3am to watch some more... LOL... atleast that my .02 cents.... goood luck and keep us updated!!!!!!

Sincerely,
