Hi there, been a long time since I've posted on these forums but I'm in need of some advice.
I have a 4 year old gammon ranges carpet python who has had a history of health issues. About two years ago he suffered a reasonably serious bacterial infection, which he was able to recover from with many months of antibiotic treatment. Since then, he has appeared to be fine, eating well and behaving normally. Final bloods done two years ago showed he had kicked the infection.
Recently, some things have happened which are concerning me. He has been off food for about five weeks now, which is very unusual for him (even at the height of his previous infection, he had a very strong feeding response). This in itself would not have bothered me too much, but on Tuesday he produced large amounts of bright green slime with his urates.
He has seen an experienced herp vet and we are waiting for the bloods to come back to find out more. I am trying to gather as much info on this as possible, as it seems a rather uncommon thing, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this green slime?
I am at work atm, but can provide pics and further info this evening if need be.
Thanks
