I have a question about my Florida Kingsnake symptoms. The vet doesn't seem too worried about them right at this moment (we're trying to fix 10 million problems at once already), but they're bothering me.

Some background on Link (the snake): She is maybe 5 years old Hypo Brooks Florida Kingsnake (don't know the actual age), ~45 inches, 2 lbs (yes, she's obese and on a diet), she has two hides. The warm end is somewhere between 85 and 89 (it's been varying a lot because my heater is trying to keep up with the weather) and the cool end is somewhere between 75 and 78. Never gets lower than 70 at night.

Her symptoms:

1) Recently gravid, may have eaten or reabsorbed her eggs or may have another clutch

2) Key lime pie colored urates

3) Light colored stool

4) Bloodshot/pinkish underbelly (esp near the tail)

5) Inappetence (she has been eating, but not much)

6) Lately she's been very lazy and won't leave her hide

7) Bright hot pink around the base of a few of her scales

8) Occasional small amounts of blood from her cloaca (the vets and I are working on that one, but we've not gotten very far yet)

Do these symptoms mean anything? Should I be worried? Did I break my snake already?! ;(
