Feces

This may sound a bit odd but maybe not. These are my first snakes and now I have had dogs, cats and many other animals, I am not sure what a normal feces/urate looks like. Are there pictures on here of normal and maybe even abnormal feces looks like? Or maybe even a list of good things to look for and then a list of bad things. I just want to make sure I know what to look for if things start going bad. I appreciate any replies and apologize for my wierd question.

Well, normal feces looks like any other type of feces..

Brown blobs. Similar to your own, actually...

The Urates are the real kicker.

They can be green, white and yellow on the outside, but are mainly white when broken apart, and when expelled, there are also a few yellow strings that can come with it..

This is all normal.

I have to say I have never had the inclination to take photos of defecation, but I can see what I can do tonight to show you.

I didn't know what the hell those white chunks in her tank where when I first got her but that's actually the pee. As for poops... they are huge proportionally to what you'd think would come out. They are just like any other crap you'd see besides that...

Hi,

LOL love the diagram. Is that where she dropped all of that? That is too funny!
:giggle:

Okay Malposa you get the new official title of "Snake Waste Product Engineer (and Official Photographer)" :rofl:

OK thank you all for the pictures and comments. I have found the urates (white with the yellow bit) but not any true feces. How long can they go without going? My big healthy boy is going normally. But little girl who was underweight and not fed properly has not gone since I got her the end of Feb., but has had urates.

And Dr. Del that must be a big snake!
