Out of my 12 hatchlings, 10 have eaten, 8 twice. My question is, the two that haven't eaten, have pooped?? How is that possible? I do have these little white moths in the house, I see them every few days or so I'll catch one flying around, and I did see one in one of the baby's water dishes. I'm wondering, would the two that haven't eaten a mouse yet have tried a moth? All 10 of the eaters are GREAT, I think they've even grown already, but these two who refused their first mouse have popped, one only once, the other about 3 or 4 times. Just tiny poops, nothing compared to the sibs after mouse poops, but not just pee either. Do snakes have that same poo-plug that human babies do? Where they can poop that black icky no smell poop for a few days after being born? Or are these two babies sick? Someone suggested worms?? How would two babies out of 12 get that when they are from the same clutch but since hatching have been kept seperately from the other 10?
