Poo

[whiffin]

Suzy's poo is like bird's poo. He's done it in his viv and on my hand, about one per feeding.

But normally when I clean him out I notice a fine yellow powder around the viv edge (this is also whe he poos). I'm pretty sure it's poo that's dried (either in him or out).

Any ideas?

Cheers

I notice this when my snakes do their business in the bath. I don't think it's anything to worry about.

yep that's exactly what i've noticed as well. I'm sure it's all normal.

I can remember getting all panicky when I first had corns, and posted a very similar message on a forum!!!

I've now seen far more snake-poo than I care for, and I can tell you that it sounds completely normal!

The white stuff is uric acid crystals (like pee) and the brown stuff is, well, obvious. ;)

One thing to note is that as the babies grow up, the texture changes. I was really frightened when mine first had fuzzy mice instead of pinkies, because the poo was much darker and more solid! :confused: I thought there was something desperately wrong, but in fact it's just related to the food.

Hope this helps!

The one he did on my lap earlier was certainly normal, and big :mad:
