As you all know now, i am studying my snakes ****s more than average.
Must say that snakes who eat only rats do not show to much fur in they stool. But the snakes i am feeding with Rabbits do have larger deposits of fur and you can say what colour rabbit was on lunch. Looks like fur is hard to digest and what is going in is going out with out colour change.
That made me decide to feed rabbit only every 3th feeding and keep it as variety food only.
Stool after rabbit looks bit runny with hard boulch of hairs fallowing but rat is nice solid stool every time.

That is the news from your daily stool watch in slate house.

Actually stools are often the first sign of problems, keeping an eye on them is a good idea.
two comments :

With my yearling WPs a lot of rodent goes in, very little comes out, and most of that is fur.

Also in the cage I have three false logs, the snakes used the two smaller to hide in and the bigger one as a toilet. Now that they don't comfortably fit in the smaller logs, they hide in the larger log until nature calls, use the log as a toilet then move out until I clean the cage. :?

[Fuscus]

I wondered where my dentures got to

I haven't seen any yet but ask someone who
A/ feeds his snake large toothed food items
B/ Is a scatophile
C/ is called Slateman

If you dig thru your snakes poo, you might possibly find the snakes teeth. occasionally they break off in a food item and seem to present no probs, although one gaboon viper was said to have died after swalling one of itsown fangs which peirced its intestines or something. I read this on internet report from cogger. I dont dig btw, i wrap and dispose, often wearing a peg! lol

 

[Slateman]

LOL fuscus. I am getting reputation here. You are right about first signs of sickness to see by stool. I always can tell if they have parasites in intestines by it. If the stool is not right 3 time in row, i am going to vet and they usually always need shot.
