Liquid in Feces (Poop Picture Alert)

[mattchibi]

Was at work all day today, went through my daily checks when I got home. Here is what I saw in my Orange Ghost's tub:




The liquidy stuff can't be normal, can it? I have saved the fecal matter in a ziploc in the fridge, as well as the piece of paper towel that she "peed" on. (The orange-ish part of the bottom of the wet spot is from before, when I applied a tiny bit of betadine on her. I noticed an orange spot from the betadine on the paper towel this morning when I checked her tub before work.)

Some background info on her:

2/12/2012 Defecated
2/9/2012 Fed Live Rat Pup - 29 grams
2/8/2012 Weight - 284 grams
2/3/2012 Refused Live Rat Pup - 44 grams
1/31/2012 Weight - 284 grams
1/29/2012 Refused f/t Rat Pup - 27 grams
1/23/2012 Weight - 290 grams
1/22/2012 Defecated
1/22/2012 Refused f/t Rat Pup - 25 grams
1/15/2012 Fed f/t Rat Pup - 24 grams
1/8/2012 Refused f/t Rat Pup - 23 grams
12/31/2011 Acquired Orange Ghost girl

I have also been applying a 1:1 diluted betadine solution directly on a tiny piece of scale rot that she has. It already started looking better (its completely white now and not brown), I am thinking it will go away on its own after next shed. Here's a thread with a picture, incase the scale rot could somehow be affecting her pooping. (http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...t-of-scale-rot)

So what do you guys think?

Ummm looks normal to me... You'll see all kinds of poo from your ball. It won't be long before you know what's normal and what isn't.

Edit.. I've seen that if mine have taken a long drink after eating. I think yours is just well hydrated.

Looks like urine and urates to me it looks totally normal.

HEY!!! That looks just like BP pee and urates!!!

Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about. Thanks for the picture warning...at least it wasn't Scratch and Snif

Thank you guys, its just none of my other ball pythons on paper substrate have given me anything close to that amount of liquid, and my girl in a glass tank is on wooden substrate so I never notice if its wet. Glad to hear its nothing to worry about I tend to stress about... well, just about everything lol
