my boa poop so strange

Hi,

I just checked my columbian bci's cage this morning and I found the faeces/poop like this one (*sorry for disturbing picture)

He just got the last meal 5 days ago. I never see the faeces like this one .... is this normal for BOA ? or just got a diseases ? if he got diseases how to cure this ?

thank you very much.

If all that gray colored mushy stuff is poop, that is not normal and your snake may have some sort of parasite.

Not normal at all. Looks like a vet visit is in order asap.

i agree

Are you feeding live or frozen. Some snakes even ones not infested with parasites will on occasion have a weird nasty un-normal poop.

I would not rush off to the vet just yet but wait till the next poop comes. If next one is still very very odd, scoop it up toss in a zip loc bag and toss in fridge. Do not freeze it and take it to vet for fecal test next day.

Wow, that looks like urates stuck in cement. Are you using some kind of homemade hide?

yes it is cement. first poop after 5 days feeding. I feed with live rat.
It's strange because the previous day I put him into warm water for about 10-15 minutes and suddenly this poop came in this morning. his stomach is kind of empty right now ...

I will check the next poop and bring it to local vet soon ....

Soaking them sometimes encourages them to "go" sometimes, but that does look weird. This is a symptom of a parasite, so be careful.

Good luck

I agree, take the next poop to a vet for a fecal exam. That pic looks almost like your snake may have pooped and pee'd the crawled through it and smeared it everywhere...

Honestly, for as cheap as they are, I wouldnt hesitate to have a fecal ran on that just to be sure.
