[Urination] Worm-Like Things in Urates (Gross Pic)

[PsychoSnake]

Last night I found these weird stringy things attached to my boa's urates in his water bowl. The worm like figures were not moving and did not appear to be alive. I plan to take him to the vet on Monday, but I'd like to know if anyone else knew what this might be. He hasn't eaten in a little over a month which is unusual for him.

I have since bathed him and bleached his tub.

I don't suppose that could possibly be a sperm plug...?

Are you sure your boa is a he? What is the age of your boa? It looks a lot like it could be sperm plugs but if the boa is too young, that would not be possible.

Thanks guys! That's what it turned out to be! My boa got a check up at the vet's and appears very healthy.

That's great to hear, thanks for the update. Now we need to see more pictures of your boa!
