Yesterday I spot cleaned ammy and instead of putting the dirt in the wheelie bin outside, I tied it up in a scented nappy sack and put it in the kitchen bin..OMG NEVER AGAIN!!!!! I woke up to an absolutly stinking house today  . I hunted the house high and low thinking my cat had had messed indoors but then I realised that the stench was coming from the bin. Note to self..... put snake poo's in the outside bin!!!!! |

| I reckon im in store for the mother of all poop when chilli gets round to it, shes been here over 2 weeks now and not had one yet! she wasnt fed for 2 weeks as they skipped her feed as it was due the day before i picked her up and i left her for another week to settle in before i fed her so am hoping this is normal that she hasnt been already. She was fed monday and is in blue so she is tucked away in her cosy place out of the way other than popping her head out every now and again she is staying where she is. Her eyes have cleared now so gonna see if she wants to come out and play tonight for a while. maybe a bit of movement will get her going! although if it wasnt on me i would prefer it! |

| Expect a massive poop when the shed happens. They seem to get everything gone in one massive whirl of poop and skin.....which sounds gross haha! |

| My royal only goes once every 3 months!!! Its immense and the poor guy loses 150+ grams of weight when he goes. I don't mind it though, you can find it and deal with it. Don't get me started on Boa poo, it is vile, it stinks to high heaven and is accompanied by a tsunami or wee that floods everything around it, if you get that on your hands you will smell of it all day. Corns are poop machines, but its manageable and they also seem to find novel ways to hide it, you know its there, your nostrils are telling you it must be somewhere and then you stick your finger in it and it goes under your nail (BARF). |

I do the same and its only if all 6 poop on the same day that I find it really stinks to high heaven.. although my bin does get emptied every 2-3days cause I'm super messy and have one of those feshmatic thingys so maybe that helps?  |
