Waste Size?

This sounds odd, but can someone post the size of the fecal of a sub-adult? I have two ~7 month old rescue leos, and I'm not sure how big their fecals should be.

Feces size varies depending on what they've eaten and how much. That said my subadults feces run about 1.5 - 2 cm. More important than size when it comes to health is composition. Feces should be relatively solid, not runny, and are typically dark in color. Runny or off color feces are warning signs. That said after consuming a shed leos will often deposit a lighter colored stool. Hope this helps
