Loose fecals

[wendyhoo9]

My newest little corn has been having loose fecals for 3 weeks now. I took a fecal into my new herp vet (who is registered with ARAV) who said they came back negative for any parasites and said she looked very healthy. I'm at a loss. I got her from a very reputable breeder and before I contact him I wanted to get any other ideas that may be causing this problem. The only thing I can figure is that it may be viral??

Any thoughts or similar experiences are much welcomed!!

What have you been feeding? Has there been any change in the items fed?

I'm not a "corn" person by any means, but are you still feeding him pinkies?

With baby ball pythons, when they are just getting started on pinky rats they spew "mud" everywhere .... once they move up to fuzzies with a little bit of hair on them, their stool hardens up.

Thought it might help.

She's about 4 months old and is 23g and I'm feeding two f/t pinkies once a week since I got her 4 weeks ago (the pinks are on the larger side). The first feed I gave three but realized I was most likely overfeeding her and backed off to two. All of the pinks are from the same batch I bought at a show. My other corn is 2 months younger and her stool is pretty firm.

She's soooo tiny looking I was unsure she'd be able to take a fuzzy as she's about 1.5 cm at her largest point.

Thanks for the feedback! It does completely look like she's spraying mud everywhere so maybe this is the issue. Besides this one things she's an absolute doll and seems to be thriving.
