Strange poop

    Strange poop
    So my female pastel (~1200g) hasn't been eating since November. I know its normal, she's not losing any weight.

    Last night she was very restless, more than normal, and before bed I checked her enclosure and found a huge puddle of pee with a weird poop on top. It had a normal chunk of urates and a small normal poo, but mixed in were dark green balls about the size and shape of a skittle (sorry for that mental picture!)

    They were pretty hard, and when squeezed they 'popped' to reveal a whitish inside. I was just heading to bed so I didn't snag any pics that might help.

    Just wondering if anybody has seen anything like this before? Thanks

    Could just be more chunks of urate. Snake digestion does the darnedest things. Haha. Anyone else seen this and know better?

    She is restless again now, exploring everything. I tried feeding but nothing.

    To my understanding, little chunks of green are normal with urates. And since you said it was hard and white on the inside, that seems to be the case. I would worry at all.

    That's perfectly normal. As for her cruising, check your temps. It sounds like the snake might be searching for a warmer or cooler spot (usually the cage is too hot and they are seeking someplace cooler). What is your set up like? What are your temps? What's your heat source?

    It's possible she's looking for a cooler spot, she seems to be roaming around the cold side, and staying in that hide more often. I have a purple bulb I keep on 24/7 in the middle of the tank. I just turned it off so I'll see how that works the next few days. Temps with the light on are ~92 warm side (inside hide) using a UTH and ~82 cool side

    Thanks for your help!
