Toby was looking particularly sweet tonight, so I set up the light tent for a photo shoot. He was posing happily for a few minutes, until I noticed him lifting his tail and wiggling around. I actually thought this was cute, until I saw some brown liquid (is that normal?) seeping out... followed by urates, more liquid, and finally a GIANT log of poop.

I've never actually seen a snake defecate before, and it was ummmmm, fortunate (??) that I happened to have the camera on him. Of course I got some pictures, which I'll share below if you all don't mind. Luckily he got most of it on the backdrop piece, rather than the actual light tent. Either way, both will be getting a good wash! Here's the magical moment on film... it would make one heck of a flip-book, hehe.















Ta-da!!


I'm so embarrassed...


P.S. I also got some good non-poop pictures of Toby, which I'll post later on the photo forum. Looking at them now, you can see the lump in his "before" pictures... I'll make sure to check for that next time, LOL.
