    Re: Strange Ball Python Poop

    That looks more like urates than poop to me.
    Bit worried about the red in it to the right.

    Its a bit hard to tell from the picture. But.... I would not worry about the amount of fluid, but if there are any slime balls, that's a bit concerning.
    See the top left flem ball type structures

    Get it tested. It looks a little like it could be flagellates. Flagellate parasites are Usually treated with metronidazole. that's a nasty compound that can harm if you do not have the dose right, so get an exact weight of your snake. I am not a vet so get it tested and take the vets advice. But Globular slimy balls are not good news. And the red might be the damage they are creating.
    Again, get the sample analysed. If it is parasitic flagellates, they can kill.

    Dont panic, my second choice would be gastroenteritis, but again, I am not a vet. But even a vet cant tell with out samples for analysis. I strongly recommend getting sample anaysys.





    Google reactance:
    Flagellates, especially Hexamita spp, have been reported to cause urinary tract disease in chelonians and intestinal disease in snakes. The “Giardia” seen in some cases of enteritis in snakes may actually be Hexamita or one of the relatively nonpathogenic flagellates that inhabit the intestinal tract of snakes
