Wash your hand. (Sorry had to say it.) I would suggest bagging the poo and taking it to the vet to check for parasites.

Re: to loose poo!!!

You'll probably have to call around to find a vet that knows about reptiles. It's a specialized field. But it's important to find one, and yeah take a bus if you have to.

Re: to loose poo!!!

Is it possible the snake had literrally JUST done the poo? From seeing out BP poo it is pretty yuckey when it first "comes out"

Re: to loose poo!!!

All i can say is that the "pellet" that i usually take form the tank takes about 30mins to an hour to form from what exits the snake - without seeing what you have seen its impossible to say if that is what has happened
