I have never seen this before...

I bought two amel corns from TK Reptile about a month or so ago. Both of them ate two meals apiece, then began regurging every meal after that. I gave them 10 days, tried to feed them, they would not eat this last feeding. #1 would grab it and the drop it every time, #2 just was not interested.

I noticed their little bellies were blue-black in color, so soaked them today thinking they may have been constipated.

#1 spewed out this:

#2 spewed out this:

I am at a total loss on these two. What could cause this kind of stool? #1's looked like he had been drinking mountain dew! YUCK!

Thanks for any help,
Cat

hum....
I haven't seen anything like that before....
I've seen number 2....that kind of looks normal...but number 1 is a bit weird....
I would definately bring it to a vet and see what is wrong with it....

sorry...couldn't help you out this time...
but please do let us know what happened to these two..
this is also why we always have quantine.....just incase..even snakes from top breeders we should still do that...just incase if there are parasites that we can't see with our eyes~

Yep, both are in quarantine, and separated. Have been since they got here-like all newcomers.

I emptied out the containers and put them back in to soak more in case there is more in them.. after 30 min I'm putting them each back in their tupperwares, and in another 5-10 days I'll be attempting to feed again.

Yeah, i would get #1 under a microscope and see what is involved here......i'm curious to hear what that is......good luck!!

complain to who ever the dealer was as well as infoing him to the problem. You should definitely get your cash/new snake back.
