poo question

buffysmom Sep 19, 2004 10:55 PM

I fed my adult corn a light-colored rat last week & the next poo was tan colored, instead of the usual dark. Is this normal?

All of my snakes have tan to white... I didn't notice anything wrong with this. Is this bad? I thought it was normal since they all seem healthy and eat well. (my big ball pythons and my boa are eating thousand gram rats). Well i hope everythings okay for both our sakes. good luck. sera

Thanks everyone. He sure seems healthy. I feed him a small rat every other week & he goes right for it. He poops about 4 days later, is active & has gained weight since I got him (which he didn't need!). I'm relatively new to snakes (w/in the last year) & wanted to make sure everything was OK.
