i have bin feeding my annie about 4-8 large mice a week and she dose not poop much just sholder bones and fur. i was wondering what is in your snakes poo?

About the same thing. Sometimes some unidentified solid matter but mostly hair and bones.

warm it up and you might get even less...I rarely have any bone or fur

Are you saying that your snakes digest bone and fur? Of course there's not much fur on chicken legs. lol sorry I had to.
Seriously though are you talking about the conda that's eating the chicken or all your snakes? I bet the fur is passed and you dont see it. I've never had a snake that didn't pass the fur and some bones no matter what the temp.

my racer dose not pass eny solid just green slim. he eats 2 large mice a week. i do not know y its green. its like a neon green and when it drys it becomes like powder and i can just sweep it up.

I guess I'm basing my observations on pythons and boas but I do know that my female doesn't like those big fluffy pigs. She only likes the short haired ones. I know a lot of the bones are digested but the fur is almost always passed by mine. I usually see some floating on the top of the water and I assume the rest is hidden in the fecal clumps. Maybe the fur from your mice is hidden in the green stuff you see.
When my female goes on the floor of her cage and when it dries you can see the hairs embedded in it.
Also I'm not to concerned about digesting hairs because there is no nutritional value to it anyway.

Neon green liquid poop!!!! What's next? lol

Arik, come to my place and look at my poop. 90% of the time I get no bones in the poop of any of my snakes. 70% of the time I get no fur and I can stare at my snakes poop for a long time so dont tell me what I dont see : )
