I fed Oscar last Monday - no poop
Fed him again yest - no poop

Is this normal? I handled him Sunday, his viv set up is spot on, he's active enough at night just in his hide during day.

Is this normal?

Mine both like to store it up for me and then surprise me when I least expect it.
Not like my cornsnakes who are regular as clockwork.

He's pooped !

I cleaned him out today, moved his hides around to which he had a nosey, then went out for a couple hours. When I came back he'd shed ( hadn't even seen him bathing or in blue) and he'd laid a fat one. Yeay

Bizarrely no - he was just slithering back in his hide so I took the skin out, measured it and was just having a look at snakey when I saw the poo. It was along the front edge o the viv so I took it out but it didn't really smell. What was strange was the main part about 2 inch long was like my poodle poo just brown and turd like but then there was another really dry hard bit like chalk, was white too then a black bit. Is that what they poo like? He'd had a yellow wee too. He's been snoozing ever since hehe

The first time mine pooped i smelt it before I saw it I had to go searching for it! lol. The white chalkey stuff are urates, I think its like hardened wee/calcium or something like that (someone please correct me if i'm wrong) but it's normal anyway. Cuthbert usually does them seperately to his poos.
