    Boa poop looks weird. Is this normal?
    I got a baby boa a few week ago. She went 5 weeks without pooping an then left me this. It smells different from my BPs poops and looks like wet cat food its rabbit droppings mixed in...

    My boas droppings have not looked like that at all. She is 5 months old and has only gone twice since ive had her but they looked alot more... poo like? maybe yours had too big of a meal and could not properly digest fully? Wish i could be of more help. Im sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in soon.

    She's about 200g and I've been feeding her rat pups that are on the smaller side (like 20g)

    thats is some nasty poop, i have no experience in this myself as my boa only eats rats and has nice firm oblong turds, but i've heard that poultry yields looser stickier stools - maybe the breeder had this one on chicks of some kind???

    She was on mice before I got her :/ I'm worried something could be wrong with her?

    hmm, well looks like its a trip to the vet (unless someone here comes up with something reassuring). Luckily they always want a stool sample and you have plenty to provide. out of curiocity, have you googled "boa poop" "loose boa stool" etc?

    I've fed my boas and retic chicks and quails and their poop doesn't look like that. The poultry poop actually smells less worse than rat poop to me. I would have a vet check that snake out.
