My new snakes fecals

Got my first snake 2 days ago ( cal king ) , asked the breeder if i should wait to feed them, he said go ahead they really eat fine. So i did , a lil pinky. Is it normal that fecals are whitish .... even i lil watering ( just a tiny bit ).... is it due to stress or sumthing ?

Got another question , iknow it should go in food forum but im not gonna open a new thread : i feed f/t to my new calking and he just grabs them without constricting .... is that normal ?

ohh_kristina · 09-28-03, 01:50 PM

yes, that's normal. I have heard of many people saying that their snakes eat pre killed rats without constricting.

close all access to the out side, then put a small pinkie in each room at night (to locate the animall) and check under anything that gives off heat, like the washing machine, airing cupboard and the dishwasher. Also cover up any air vent sand other places it could squeeze though.
If you want to see a snake constriced f/t food, then feed it on forceps or with gloves (or even by hand if youve got the balls)
