hey all, after my corn snake went missing i was cheeking his tank when i noteced some furry poop now usually his poop isnt furry so i am thinking he isnt digesting properly he is currently on one medium mouse a week and he has been taking it no probs so i am a little worried. could it be that when i was cleaning him i somehow missed a poop and it went hairy like out of date tomatos?!!?

They dont digest the fur, (correct me if i'm wrong!) or it did just go mouldy. Any luck finding him?

most likely the fur from the mouse - normal, the fur on tomatoes is mould

I find that if I miss a poop and it dries up it does look hairy rather than just the dark colour of a fresh one

If the poo is hairy, clean him out more often! most of the time they do digest the fur, but not all the time.
