    Temperature's Affect on poop
    The question is if lower temps affect the snakes poo. I had my ball in a 15 gal tank with 75 w bulb and it would poop like a small dog (like little turds). But ever since i moved it to 55gal or 65gal not sure, the temp stays in the low 80's and it now poops only the yellow white9(bird looking poo). I want to know if the lower temps might be affecting its digestion system.its been almost a month now of no turds just getting a little worried. should i go buy a higher watt bulb

    You need a hot spot around 90F

    Ill be buying a higher watt bulb most likley a 125w but do you think the temp difference is causing constipation. also any recomendations for wattage is 125 ok for 55 or 65 gal

    Umm... I may by mistaken, but I think you're talking about urates(the yellow white poo). Those are different from the brown poo.

    Snakes sometimes go a while between leaving you brown surprises. Especially if a shed is coming.

    Cooler temps have an affect on digestion from my experience. I have one female rack that runs cooler temps than my other racks and the ones in that rack take longer to defecate

    yea lately my snake has only letting go urates she shed a bout a month and a half ago and that was the last tme i saw a turd(brown stuff) compared to before it was almost every two weeks she would poo. then i guess i really need to hurry up and get a higher watt bulb. How often do your snakes leave turds?
