    Poo Problem
    Okay, this could be normal, but it concerns me. I fed Drogo on Saturday, so 4 days ago. When I got home from work I checked his tank and found a large brown turd. Last time he didn't 'do his business' until after 2 feedings and they were 2 small pellets, that looked almost encased. This looks like a small dog turd. I tried uploading a picture- but it's not working.

    If any of you have any experience with this or knowledge on the subject I would really appreciate it! Thanks.

    No it wasn't white pellets, it literally looks like a small dog turd. I'm worried, because don't they normally have small poos because they use most of the feeder? It doesn't look like he got much out of that rat.

    The "pellets" you are trying to describe were probably urates. They're white.

    However, ball pythons DO have big turd-like poos! Just like a dog poop! It's completely normal.

    this came from my normal female when she was just a tiny lil girl. you will be surprised at what comes out sometimes. expect to see stuff about the seize of their prey. sometimes they are furry and look like lil brown rats.
