    Do I need to worry?

    I got myself a pastel ball python at a reptile show back in October. everything was going well he was eating and drinking fine, recently he developed a case of diarrhea. I have never seen this in any of my other snakes before and his fist couple of poops have been pretty solid. should I be concerned? and what can I do to help him? Any advice will be helpful thank you.

    I wouldn't be too concerned, this exact thing happened with my snake, having random poo textures. Remember solids and liquids combine when snakes defecate, so he might have just drank extra water before..?

    Lol but he should be fine, if he suddenly stops eating for causes other than him going into shed then you might want to have him checked out, or do a "fecal float" which I don't have experience with but I think it's when you have vetrinarians check for parasite eggs or parts under a microscope.
    And someone else can chime in too..
