Went to clean and feed the snakes tonight, and noticed one of my guys has some strange looking poop. Not sure if this is normal or not? He looks and acts normal. Eating, sheddings, active, growing as always... Ideas/advice please?

Snakes do not diget hair.

Snakes do not diget hair.

Yea, it does kind of look like hair... Pick it up with a paper towel or gloves and squish it, you should be able to see the seperate strands of hair. I've done this with my own snakes BMs. I know it sounds gross but if you really want to know if it is hair then that is the only way to find out I think.

Thanks guys, but I was mostly referring to the urates. Are they not supposed to be hard and white? Or am I just spending too much time with my beardie? haha :p

Em, I have had one drop Urates that looked a little runnier than usual. The next poop it was back to normal though :)

Yes - urates are white and get hard when dry.

LOL. I wasn't trying to be smart aleck.

I think a poop can be dilute or concentrated, meaning the urates can be hard/concentrated/white....or less so.
