Does this mammoth turd smell at all of molasses? If it does, your Boa could have an artificially slow metabolism resulting in poop that is slower than molasses in January. So now you well understand and yes you do have great reason for concern. A Boa turd that wreaks of molasses is one not to be taken lightly or with any salt. Salt will cause the molasses qualities of this poop to metastasize throughout all it touches and in rare instances even into those that gaze upon it! It may also possibly grow out of it's already gargantuan proportions into something roughly equal to the size of the great wall of China. So you see the reason for my justified concern and warning to NOT use any salt on this turd if there is even the slightest aroma of molasses.

Of course there is also the possibility of caramelized desalinized interfecalization. This is a little known and extremely rare condition where the feces can actually become petrified becoming as hard as stone. The only test for this condition is of course an unpleasant one. You will have to taste of the enlarged mass while still steamy and fresh. If the flavor is the same as fresh Maine Lobster meat sautéed in butter, you need to get that Boa to a veterinarian immediately as a complete fasciotomy is the only cure.

Assuming that you neither smell any molasses and cannot taste any hint of lobster flavor, you have nothing to worry about. Boas poop and just like all animals, sometimes more than others.

Have fun doing the diagnosis and good luck to you and your big pooping Boa!
