He eats f/t. It's possible he had some live meals early on in his life as I know some people will start them on live pinkies etc, but the breeder already had him on f/t when I got him and the only switch I've made is from mice to rats. I have no intention to feed live. He hasn't shown any sign of parasites that I've seen - I absolutely would take him in for panacur or similar if I saw anything moving in the feces. I have not specifically had a fecal done though. Mostly because it's hard to predict when a snake will poop and my schedule is pretty busy. It wasn't a priority for a healthy snake but I will certainly make it one if he seems to have any issues. I am not super concerned at the moment as I agree that it can be normal but I definitely wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything and I appreciate the feedback.
