Normal BP feces?

[ThnksFrThMmrs]

I've noticed that, whenever I clean out the feces on a normal day after he has just eaten, it's white and it looks like a little piece of chewed up gum. As he's shedding, however, his feces is longer, hard, and dark brown. It's only when he's shedding. Is this normal or is there something wrong? Could it just be from the stress that comes with shedding?

They pee, they poop and they also more often release a liquid, like urine with that white chalky looking clump. All three are mormal. The white chalky one most often. Hope that helped. Tried explaining it in real world talk. Your snake is perfectly normal!

The white you are seeing is called urates, and is perfectly normal in snakes.

I knew that the white poo was normal, but the dark brown is too? It's only dark brown when he sheds.

The white urates that your seeing is a solid form of urine, that's why you see the white more often. The brown poo is actual poop, many snakes will hold their poo until they shed and get everything over with in one sweep. Your snake just likes to hold it until he sheds there's actually a good article about why they do this I'll link it once I find it

Yes the brown is actually the feces, and they do seem to "let it fly" whenever they shed
