NEWBIE here! Questioning poop? (sorry but it made me nervous)
I'm sorry to post such a disgusting picture..but it doesn't look normal lol.
Okay, so my snake pooped..obviously..and it's runny..which normally means parasites? Correct?
& there's also what seems to be a blood spot
Any advice?

Where did the snake come from? Was it a wild caught snake? Or captive bred by a breeder/hobbyist? If it was captive bred, I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it was an imported baby or a wild caught adult, I'd be more concerned about something going on...

I don't know those details..I got her from the pet store so my guess..is she was once a wild baby but not 100% positive.

I talked to the pet store & they said my snake may have just passed the part of a mouse from the previous eating. If I see it again today or tomorrow, I am to bring her into the pet store & they will pay for the vet expenses for me! thanks everyone lol.

Good to hear, glad they are going to help you out. Keep us posted if it's anything too serious! Best of luck for your snakey.

one thing some big breeders regularly advise:
there are these stool sample kits for reptiles sold by laboratories. when you buy it, the lab costs are already included, with instructions on how to collect a sample and send it in. And then they come back to you with the results of a screening for all parasites and maybe some other data. Ive never done it, but its what the vets also do, and some professional breeders say it should be done with the snakes you get, and repeated from time to time to make sure the collection is healthy. Its not too expensive, maybe ask the pet store or the vet for that.
