Re: Help~~My baby Suriname boa's poop is like black smashed potato。。。
Ah thank you so much! LOL jellybean. I'll get some hopper mice! May I know that have you had any problem in changing their prey from mice to rats?

I would start off with switching him to hopper mice and after a few weeks, if the poop hasnt tightened up, then might have a vet do a fecal like April said.
I started my suriname off on hopper mice. She just graduated to weaned rats.
Some snakes handle the fat a little better than others but really, no snake should be having such a fatty diet.
And remember, BCC tend to puke if fed too big of meal. Stick with the mice and you should be good.
