Felt a bump

[marionsclan]

Today, after she got done shedding, I was feeling her up and checking her out very closely and I felt a round bump about an inch inside from her cloaca.

Could that be hardened urate? She hasn't pooped in a couple of weeks but her lower half does not feel swollen or bloated. It feels normal except for that bump. Any ideas?

Stuff I read was:


Warm baths until they poop



While in the bath gently massage the cloaca area trying to push the stool out.
Milk of Magnesia (tiny amount because it acts like a diuretic)

And since I know you guys are going to ask (yes, I've read your posts) I have an under tank heater and a 100 W heat lamp on one side of a 55 Gal tank and the temp is around 88 to 89 and the humidity is generally at 50%. I also mist daily. The cooler side is in the upper 70's and she goes back and forth between both places. Her shed came off in one piece too.

if theres no swelling i would not worry too much or bother with trying to manipulate something that will come out in its own good time mate

regards the milk of magnesia or mineral oil injected into a prey item (rat lax) ,i would only use for a snake constantly bothered with constipation

Good deal. Thanks for the good info.

Sounds like nothing to me. Good to diligent rather than dismissive, but I think you've got nothing to worry about here.
Good eye.
