I just put a couple of frogs for my Eastern Hognose Snake in the aquarium yesterday. I came back today and looked and there was a strange yellow colored powder near the back of the aquarium with a couple frogs around it. Does anybody know what it is?
If you know what it is, is it harmful to the snake?
This could be coming from your frogs and the snake may have to be removed to see for sure.

ABERYSTWYTH: Snake sex may be more Daedalian than we thought, as new research suggests snakes select a becoming mate by smelling airborne molecules released during copulation.
By studying snake sex pheromones, researchers at the University of Sydney have found that snakes are not only adept to sense molecular communications through direct contact of their dialect, but are also able to 'smell' airborne molecules.
"Snakes all things considered depend on large fat molecules to tell them about another snake's sex and reproductive teach. Because these molecules are large, they don't float through the air - and so, a snake picks them up by tongue-flicking the stiff of another snake directly, or by tongue-flicking a trail that the other snake has left on the footing," said lead author Richard Shine, of the stationery published in Biology Letters today.
"Our work shows that snakes are more ductile that we had realised - they are quite capable of using airborne cues as well, involving several kinds of molecules, so long as these provide useful data."
That the snake is anything but scary. “Kids just take to Murray,” he says. “Once you let them know it’s a pet they can’t get enough of him.”
For her part, Haileigh says Murray is “very friendly,” just a little cumbersome. “Sometimes I have to try to pick him up to get him off the concrete, but he’s a little bit heavy for me.” Her mom Leaha helps her out, cleaning Murray’s aquarium and helping to feed him with a steady diet of small mammals and reptiles.
Though Haileigh and Murray seem to share quite a bond, wildlife experts do urge people to keep their distance from snakes of all shapes and sizes, the
