    Did I feed her too much?

    Well my new Noodle has just left me an ENORMOUS present - about 2" long poop (she's an adult). You wouldn't think she could do so much.

    I wonder that as her normal poop hasn't been so much whether I gave her one too many mice last feeding - I gave her her normal size mouse but she was still seemed to be hunting like mad after that so I defrosted her another (smaller one). This poop was normal poop color but seemed to have some pink in it and I think I could make out some fur in it. Is this normal? (maybe she had too much and couldn't quite digest the rest). I'm pretty sure it can't be a regurge because I fed her Tuesday pm and it's now Saturday. I did give her a bath for the first time this morning so wonder if that might have shifted things along a bit. (it wasn't slimy at all).

    Just hoping I'm being over-worried and there's nothing to be concerned about.

    Snake poop can be.. well.. suprisingly BIG compared to the animal.

    <Luke Skywalker Voice> Look at the size of that thing!

    I once had a 200 gram baby pass a stool and lose about 20 grams thereafter. That's 10% of their total body weight. Don't worry, your corn will continue to suprise you time and time again!

    Re: Did I feed her too much?

    Thanks for your replies - I feel better now - my BP has never done a poop that big and never with some fur so there I was staring at the viv in disbelief - she'd deposited right at the front where I couldn't miss it - guess she was determined I should clean that up pretty quick
