Some sellers do "maintenance feeding" (ie. feeding the minimal amount for a snake to remain alive, so they don't grow, or out-grow their minimal caging & deli-cup to sell).Originally Posted by Ditto
The pinkies are about the same size as her largest circumference, & they couldn't remember her exact hatch date but they said almost a year old. She seems really tiny though, I want to believe she was just a fussy eater but maybe she was underfed
Also, she pooped (possibly peed?) for the first time with me today and it looks really weird to me? Like runny light orange with light yellow hard dry spots. I took a few pictures before throwing it out but didn't want to just spring those on here unprompted. Is this something I should be worried about? The poor baby, I really hope she's not sick

It's also possible that she was a fussy feeder...time will tell, I guess. (-so you didn't get a feeding record or hatch date from this seller?)
Please do post the pics you took...we don't all describe colors the same way, & while yellow is normal, orange is not. Any doubt, save it for a vet.
(I know the colors were discussed here but I don't recall what thread & what orange means in snake poo...but you don't want to see red either-
for obvious reasons- possible bleeding- and since yellow + red = orange, maybe that was the concern with orange poo?)
