on of my leopards went to the bathroom.. the white part came out which i know is good and healthy but then the poop part wasnt as solid as it has been before. can anyone help me out on what this mean and how i can fix it.

thanks
steve

Was it still the dark brown/black color? Sometimes when leos eat fattier foods like butterworms or waxworms then this will happen or even silkworms. Have you changed their diet? What till s/he goes again and see how that looks. Might just been a bad bug or to much water in its system.

my situation is similar to svt03cobra's...

my leo switched from crickets to meal worms and his poop isn't as solid as before... it has a goo-ey coating... is it because the mealies??

Did u ever offer it mealies before yu switched it over completley. I read or heard somewhere that if they are use to one food and you offer other food their body isnt really used to it so its harder for them to brake it down until they are use too it. Like when you give a baby a need foood for the firt time. It can be different looking. Keep an eye on it and if it doesnt look normal within a few more poops take it to the vet.
