weird white stuff at anal opening

[Cyberduke]

Hi, This year I have 9 hatclings and at the anal opening of them there is weird white stuff. At somr snakes its not there but when I pop them it comes out. But at ather snakes its there the whole time. I had the humidity of the cages very high for the first 2 weeks but have lowerd that since. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Do you have any photos of this? That would help a lot.

Here, but it's much better since last night. At most of the snakes it only comes out when they are popped. (sexed)

I don't know why the pictures don't want to show. Maybe they are to big. Here's the links.

Does it go away when you are done holding them? It almost looks to me like they are musking.

It goes away at most of the snakes. And getting better everyday.

I agree with Ali. It does look like my babies do if they musk me, but if it's staying outside and not going back in at all, then it could possibly be something a bit worse than that. Have you tried giving them a humid hide area? I had a problem quite a few years back with an adult corn that came in with prolapsed hemipenes. They finally retracted after a nice, long soak, and then putting him on a misted paper towel for the next day or so. I'm not saying that's what is happening here, but as long as that's exposed, I don't think a humid hide would hurt.

We'll, there viv's have been super humid for their first 2 weeks and noe when I've reduced that a lot it became better.

[RobbiesCornField]

Huh. That's very interesting. I wonder if it was *too* humid, causing the swelling by the cloaca...

[Cyberduke]

Yea, that's what I thaught too
