    Exclamation Stool sample for vet?

    I don't know what snake poop looks like so I'm not sure if this is a urate or a poop? I'm getting him tested for paracytes in case so I need to bring the right sample. A healthy snake is a happy snake! So what is this? Thanks!

    Stool sample for vet?

    The other 'stuff' is generally larger , dark in colour and smelly .. usually soft and squishy unless it's near a heat source and dried out .

    As to how often ... they're all so different ..

    When they need to! Some go every weeks some can go once a month or more, it depends on the animal, prey size and feeding freqency. Your best chance to collect fecal matter is after a shed if the animal is young.
