    I agree that's a little funky, but you shouldn't need to test another one- just wait for the results you have coming.

    I actually brought it in to my local vet for a float. The tech there told me they didn't find anything on it, and also said they could have seen if there were nematodes or not. But she did say the vet was concerned that it was a bit "runny." They advised against Panacur, saying it could cause more damage than help, because it would kill beneficial gut flora? Any opinions on this? For now I think I'll just observe and maybe lay off on the Panacur. I can get it whenever I need it, so if it continues to be weird poo, I would probably try it.

    Anyway, I'm going to lay off on the poo testing for now lol. If his crypto test is negative, I will re-test again in a few weeks or a month or something (not sure what interval you're supposed to do for a re-test...)

    That's good, I'm glad they didn't find anything. Maybe he is just stressed? Listen to your vet- I've not seen any problem using Panacur (or Flagyl, for that matter) but I'd agree that meds are best avoided unless you're sure they're needed, so wait & see? I tend to treat any new snake as if they're in the ICU- just rest & a low-stress environment for a while, to let their natural immune system work as best it can.

    If no other reason is found, then I'd elect to say it's stress as well. It's often underestimated just how greatly stress can affect bowel movement, no matter the type of creature involved.
