I have an 8 year old boa constrictor, that I took out tonight. I haven't handled her for a while, and she seemed more aggresive than usual. Anyways, after a while this white gunk started to come out of her anus, and I'm confused as to what it is. I have never seen her do that before, in the 8 years I've had her. I've been trying to find out what it is, and to the best of my knowledge from what I have found, snake's will secrete that stuff from getting handled. Is that true? Did she just do that because I haven't taken her out for a while?

If it was musk count yourself lucky it wasn't a blood python!

so it was just a natural reaction of hers from getting handled then?
