    question on snake feaces

    hi all!
    i have a question about my snake feaces.
    i got my second baby ball, a cinnamon male thats about 4 months old.
    he was getting feed on live mice, but i switched on f/t baby rats when it came to his first feeding with me.
    the thing is, that 3 days after he ate, he had diarrhea. i was away and when i came and checked on him, a part of his fauna was covered in brown.
    now its all clean and washed, but it m kinda worried. could that be cause of the food change?
    my other ball, the normal, that was getting f/t mice-rats had normal feaces.
    thanx all in advance!

    It's not normal no. It could be a sign of parasites. After it's next bowel movement if it still does not look right I would put some in a zip lock bag and take it to the vet for a fecal exam.
