Hi,
After feeding Clark doesn't do just one big poo, he literally does one a day for 2-3 days.
Is this normal? And what ways do you get the poo out of the viv? Because at the moment I'm just using a sandwich bag (like you would do for a dog or cat) and everytime I do I end up just smudging it everywhere.
HELP |

Mine depend on what size meal they have too, if ruby has a large shell poo twice in two days, but only once on a medium. The younger two on smalls poop little and often. |

Sounds normal. Also, the rate your snake poops at depends with the individual snake.
Cheap tissues work well, just scoop up the mess, and you can also use them to wipe down the viv/faun as well (and in my case, chuck the lot in a compost bin).
You want to see what my '08 Carolina leaves me after a feed and he being in blue for 10 days! |

I would say in my limited experience it is more normal for a young snake to do several poos, the older they get the less they seem to go. Certainly my 2 would always do 2-3 poos a week when hatchies. Not necessarily 3 days in a row though? I usually use a piece of kitchen roll to get it out, it's easier to get out if it has dried out a bit, but of course better if you see it to remove it asap.
edit - and I used aspen-like bedding, then switched to beech chips for 1 delivery - found them much more messy as they are not absorbent enough, and also hated the smell, so I went back to aspen-like bedding which tends to absorb the poo better and it's easier to just take out in a big lump lol. I have just bought a bag of lignocel so will be trying that soon... |
