just tonight when i was feeding my ball i came back after he was done eating and there was diareah everywhere and is was rank, he did eat the rat, im pretty sure it didnt come from the rat, i think it was all him. what could this be a sign of? ANY HELP will be appreciated. he has been eating and pooping normally since now, he was taking medication for pinworms, but thats all over and done with, not to mention that the med thing was more than 4 months ago.

Just had one of my babies to the local herp vet today because of the same symptom. The vet did a culture on the fecal sample I took in and my snake has a bacterial infection. We are treating it with Flagyl given orally.

I would recommend taking your snake to the vet as well (along with a fecal sample).

OK, I'm asleep. Just realized I responded to a post that is over 2 months old. My guess is that this has been resolved by now!
