I just noticed condensation in Caramac's RUB and that usually means she's pooed in there as that's the only things that raises the humidity that high. Any way i opened up her RUB and it smelt ming, so i started looking about for it and she hadn't done it in her usual place. When i lifted her hide though there was something, it looked exactly like chewing gum though, same size and colour. When i poked it (with rubber gloves on) it was quite hard, like gum that's been chewed and then left for a few hours. It was under her hot hide so i suppose whatever it is would have dried out pretty quick, but there was no brown at all which i found really odd. Is this normal, if so what is it?? Sorry about the essay i just found it really odd.

funny how i was told that they wee alot, and to make sure my heat mat had paper or another absorbant material to help soak it up to prevent it boiling and hurting the snake...they never said it would be solid...
