I said N/P

I don't have a picture of a waxy stool. I can tell you they sort of look like "urates". They're sometimes white like the urates. Other times they'll be greenish or have a bit of actual "poo" mixed in there. You'll know the waxy stool when you see it. It's most likely going to be a very small stool. It will be "runnier" than most. It will have a "different" smell to it. Sometimes it's a rank smell, but not always. If you happen to catch your gravid boa in the process of depositing this stool it will sort of look like she' going into labor. She'll very carefully flex her entire body, and will very carefully push this one out. The largest waxy stool I've seen was about the size of a silver dollar. It sort of looked like urates with mucus in it.

BTW sometimes a female will deposit this stool hours before giving birth, so it can be missed.

Thats what I thought, and thats what I got.

My girl woke me up to have me "look at this weird poop". Thought it was going to be about her dragons, but it was my fat girl. It pretty much looked like urates, with runny crap on them...

::crossing fingers::

Best way I can describe the appearance of the waxy stool, is urates as mentioned with a bit of axle grease squirted ontop. Has that oily look to it.

Good luck.
