watery poop?

HerpGirl Aug 13, 2003 08:31 AM

yesterday my new rescue ig pooped but there was a huge puddle of liquid with it too. is that normal or could it be becuase they fed him mostly fruit? it was about a 7 inch wide circle of liquid. im going to see if its still like that tonight, after he is on my diet and see if it is any different. is it usually like this in larger igs? i feel stupid asking that but i havent had an ig that big be4.
also, there was urate too so im not sure what the liquid was although it was clear like water but his poop smelled pretty bad.

once i get paid and have enuff money i will prolly take him but i just spent a ton of money, between getting food at the petstore(im going thru more than a hundred crix a week with my other herps) and the herp show i was just at, i have like a total of 4 bucks!! im getting paid soon tho so he should be getting a vet visit soon. it wasnt really smelly tho, just when i got really close to it i could smell it a bit.

i occasionally get a very watery stuff along with the poop from Zeph, its maybe 2 or 3 times a month, and i think its because of too much water the night before.

Is it a male ? And how old is he ?
Around the Month they were born at 18 months or older , They will expell semen in there poop. It looks like watered down milk.
My male does it weather it's his mating season or not.
A few times a month.
