i did speak to them yesterday and said if he has another green one i should bing him in.
I did some research and if a snake has not eaten for a while it can turn green as there is, how would i say , no meat in the poo just wee but the snakes body will make the poo the same .
or an infection but he is on the antibiotics i feel its that with the lack of food. but if it is green he is of to the vets. |

There's a good chance it's BECAUSE he's on antibiotics. But best to ring your vet anyway. |

Its worth a trip to the vets with a pot of green poo to ensure that there is no infection. There is one thing I've spotted while been on here and that is when Mike says something its very wise to listen. |

This is what happened to Buzz.
