    I'd probably trust the one for reptiles and amphibians more than the all animal one, but I am not sure.

    I just googled "reptile fecal mail in."

    I've heard from others that have done this, but not sure what they used (i.e. test kit).

    I would think do this first and then a vet to safe stress, but it also depends how worried you are and how comfortable you are with your vet and their expertise with reptiles.
    Thank you for your help

    I saw that first one and had considered it, still looking at second link. Not sure if it covers the more microscopic parasites (ex: flagellates, which I've heard these imports can be loaded with) .

    He's eating drop fed, but without gusto. Has only taken small hamsters, one a week. Stool isn't consistent/familiar enough to me, for me to say "looks good/normal".

    Ball python craps seem pretty straight-forward. Not sure if hampster makes their poo different...I know quail does...

    IF it's a GI thing, I fear stress of vet visit could exacerbate things. Put him off food longer, etc. He isn't a bulky dude.

    I HAVE Panacur and Flagyl (liquid form, measured for reptile use) and syringes and such but I don't want to fool around with it without knowing.

    I'm going to look more at the second link. I'm hoping he sheds soon and gives me something to work with. Doubt he'd like a cloacal flush.
