Re: New Snake, stool issue (w/pic)

Did your snake shed recently? She/he may have been a little plugged up and finally was comfortable enough to relieve her/himself, causing that explosion.

The more veteran keepers/breeders should have answers for you. Snake stool will vary between species; my colubrids are extremely messy while my pythons typically excrete a nice, solid "log" (sorry, loss of words!).

That does look abnormal, but then it does look like there are a lot of urates mixed in

Re: New Snake, stool issue (w/pic)

Colubrid poop is terrible. Yuck, it is the smelliest ever. My FWC is a real nasty boy. When he takes a dump the whole room stinks for hours, even after I've cleaned it up.
