Ive only fed him once since i had him the pet shop said he was fed last tue ( i bought him on wed ) and told me he will be due on sunday.

I hav'nt noticed him drinking a lot as he is still in his 5 day settling in period and stays in the hide most of the day, but i know hes out during the night as there is a new poo and his bowl ares is wet telling me he is drinking fine.

The poo hes doing looks like bird poo, is that normal for a baby snake?

He should be left too settle for 7days, not 5, then feed him and leave him another 2 days.

Yes the poos sound normal, the reason i asked if he was drinking alot is beacasue the yellow bits in the poo are urates, the more he drinks the more he needs to pee.

It is strange that he is pooing so often though. Maybe another more experienced member may be able to shed some light on the situation.

My girl went through that when she was a shoelace, but it calmed down as she settled in. I can't say if it's medical or not, as am not a vet, but maybe it's just nerves at moving in.

Hope He settles down quickly for you.

I have a shoelace that is pooing nearly every day too since she... well hatched lol. Nothing seems to be wrong with her as far as I can tell, maybe they just process the food faster than other snakies?



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3
