    Liquid Poop?

    One of my new baby ball pythons took a poo and it looks like black liquid, my substrate soaked it up so I cant take a sample to the vet. Could this be a sign that it has worms? And will this require vet prescribed medicine?

    The snake seems healthy, its eating and seems to be normal, it just has the runs...

    This can be normal just due to it being so young. Not saying to just ignore it but I would keep a close eye on it. It should "harden" up by the next 2 times. I have had the same issue when just bringing some snakes home and they were adults. I call it car sickness.. Our newest just did it last night.

    Again I would not be stressed to much but keep a close eye on it.
