I have a Fl. Kingsnake that is pooping a green powdery stuff w/ it's poo. Has anybody had this problem, do they know what it is, and is it a concern that I should go to the vet immidiately?
Thanks in advanced.

How often? A slightly tinged green colour occasionally isn't a major concern. However if you are consistently seeing green, and/or if it's increasing, or quite obvious, then I recommend getting some bloodwork done. The green is from biliverdin. It's like bilirubin in humans (yellow/amber urine colour) but reptiles don't break it down quite as much.
