View Full Version : BRB - Feces problem?

I have noticed that my BRB always has a kind of slime covering his feces. I dont see this with my other boa or my pythons. Now, I was treating with Benebac for about 4 weeks and I am wondering if this is still in his gut and is causing it. He was a rescue case that had 2 regurges since I have had him (when moving too fast to larger prey items or feeding too often). I now have him on a small rat every 10-14 days and no problems with regurge (although his weight is not bouncing back quickly as I would like and he has a triangular shape still). Any thoughts? He has been treated before for internal parasites and the husbandry is not an issue. Thanks!

Have the feces taken in for a fecal. I'm betting he has some type of gut parasite going on there. Some parasites are extremely hard to get rid of.

I will do that. I am pretty sure its the remnants of the benebac but I want to be safe. I threw away the last feces but I will take the next ones in for sure.
