Poop ID.

[guidofatherof5]

No worms, no. Although we caught one larger than him in the garden today, I'm not going to feed those
Thanks for responding dr garter! ...will do as you suggest.

You can always cut the worm into small pieces.

My snake has dark, very watery poop. I feed him worms from my garden. What are the best types of worms to feed? I am looking to start a worm farm and want to know what type of worms to get, there are "red wigglers", "super red European night crawlers", "earthworms", "red worms", "African night crawlers", "Alabama jumpers" "garden worms" and plain "red worms". I am also looking into getting frozen pinkies, do I feed them frozen or thaw them first?

[guidofatherof5]

Pinkies must be thawed. Room temp or slightly warmer.

No Compost Worms and all.
Stay with night crawlers or earth worms. The latter are not sold in stores. Any chance you can post a photo of the worms you are feeding?

See my post earlier, I have photos of him eating a worm. They come from my garden so I think they are plain earth worms. It just get so confusing with the worms as everyone seems to call them by different names and a lot of them look so similar. How can you tell the difference? Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I am worried I might screw up and I don't want to hurt my snake over a stupid mistake.
How much of a pinkie do I feed it?

I usually take my pinkies and put them in a bin of hot tap water for about 10 min, then I take them out and make sure they are thawed all the way trough. any frozen parts still inside can be dangerous as far as I know.

You are correct. They must be completely thawed.

Disregard this post.

It's important we know what good feces looks like but I think it would be equally important if we had some photos of abnormal feces. It will help ID potential problems.

[slipknot711]

i agree. i also would like to know good feces from bad feces. my new guys have been fed minnows (which i will correct soon since its not the best for them) and there poop is a little watery with white in it and smells like straight up fish

[guidofatherof5]

The white you see is urates(normal). Minnows not only have thiaminase but usually carry a pretty heavy parasite load.
