Not pinkies, but actual furred mice.. what does the stool look like afterward? I've had my marinus for about two and half years and normally just feed her roaches and hornworms, and I'm used to a blackish mess in the water bowl full of pieces of roach exoskeleton. But recently I had a couple of extra feeder mice thawed out that nobody wanted, so I tossed them into her food dish as a treat. Tonight, I noticed two moist, fibrous reddish-brown things in her terrarium. The fact that they were on land was odd, and so was everything else about them. The fiber is too fine to be substrate, so I assume it's hair. It has neither the meat smell that a snake regurge has nor the toilet smell that her stool normally has, so basicaly I'm just trying to figure out which end it came out of and if it sounds normal.

Hey, cool. Thanks for the response. I hadn't even been watching this thread any more. Tank temps are all over. I made a planter for her out of a 150-gallon horse trough that was just taking up space. There's a 100-watt lamp over the about the 75 per cent point, starting from the cool side, which is usually about 80 during the day. At night, now, it can drop as low as 74, but when the issue was posted I doubt it was ever dropping below 76-78. Right under the lamp, temps can exceed 100, but I only bother monitoring the cool side, since if the hot spot is too hot she can just shift into a different area.

Someone finally responded, and their post isn't today, so it looks like I came back to talk to myself. Oh well.

That was me that responded. The powers that be deleted a couple of my threads because my signature referred to another site that is NOT competition. I since changed my sig.
