    Brooks Kingsnake, Sick or Stressed?

    Hey, I recently purchased a Brooks Kingsnake from someone, and I have some concerns, the snake was perfectly healthy and eating fine with the previous owner, I went on the train with her back home and was moving her from tank to tank but have her settled now, she could be stressed, but while handling her, I found some kind of green substance, very small amount, that I thought was poop. I cleaned it up and placed her back in her home. She is 5 feet long, pretty thick too. She also peed in her tank and it was greenish also, and she prefers not to hide, and she didnt try to go after the mouse I placed in her tank, even though the previous owner said he fed her both dead and alive mice. Is this stress, or something wrong? I personally think it is stress.

    The green is likely urates - if so that's normal. As for not eating, many snakes require a few weeks to adjust to a new environment.
