I have two corn snakes. An estimated 4 year old and a 2 year old.
The 2 year old tends to hold his poop in or hide it in his enclosure. He has aspen bedding so he burrows, poops, then comes back up.
The female corn snake just poops a lot, haha. I'm used to having pythons that poop once or twice a month.
Her poop is SUPER smelly though and I'm not entirely sure it's "normal" for it to smell like this. I'm also not 100% sure what normal corn snake poop looks like since I find the younger one's dookies about a week after he does it and it doesn't smell at all!
Are there any of you willing to post a picture of a "normal" adult corn snake poop? I just need to know what a normal one looks like before I decide to take her in for a checkup and make sure she doesn't have parasites or something nasty like that.
Other than the poop, she is a very sweet girl! Very tolerant to any and all handling, has never hissed once and lets me touch her head and just about any part of her body. VERY good feeder, hasn't missed a feeding since January when I got her.
Here's a photo of her. [she's in shed in this photo]
She's missing some scales on her face due to battles with live prey with her previous owner. Now happily fed on frozen/thawed adult mice.
