Weird poops

[ballpyt]

How long have you had the snake and have there been any other recent changes?

My first instinct with anything strange in pooping behaviour is always to jump to parasites - others may correct me, but in other reptiles that has been my experience.

Unfortunately if it is a parasite there aren't really home remedies that will take care of the problem, it needs to be treated by a reputable reptile vet after a fecal sample has been provided. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

2 years. No other recent changes.

My first thought is that there is something wrong with the mice you fed to the snake. Not necessarily that the rodent contained parasites, but, did not digest well. I've fed off rodents with large tumors/abscesses and have seen similar results.

My second thought is that the digestion process was hindered due to poor thermoregulation. If you are running a thermal gradient in the enclosure you may want to reconsider and establish optimum temperatures instead.

Unless you notice a marked decline in your snakes body condition--I wouldn't consider a Vet at this point.

Mice are breed a grow here ATM so not getting from outside source. I know that doesn't really matter much. We have a male also on live mice and he hasn't had any issues so far. Temps don't seem to be a problem as I check regularly.

I'll continue to monitor and get her to a vet before long!

With the 200gram drop in weight and the runny poop I would go with the vet check take stool sample. Has there been any regurgitation?

There was a regurg a while back. She went off food for a bit after that but then seemed to go back to normal for a while.

My thoughts: I'd take a FRESH stool sample (as best you can) to a vet a.s.a.p.- the reddish tint concerns me (internal bleeding?) & snakes are stoic...often in far
worse shape than they let on when they have parasites or other illnesses.

Even if no reptile vet is near you, another regular vet could probably be talked into just checking the stool if you explain your "limited" situation & that alone shouldn't
cost "an arm & a leg".

One more thing though: Maybe you should reconsider having any pets IF "due to recent personal issues, I don't have the time(no reptiles vets near me) or funds at the moment." That's just not fair to the animals, is it?

I didn't think about just having a stool sample checked by local vets. I'll look into that.

I completely understand that thinking. If the other snakes start to have issues, I'll consider that option. I do plan on a vet visit or stool sample sooner than later. Thanks for the feedback all!
