Has NOT pooped.........that I know of.

[kueluck]

OK, just found this from Wayne on Normal poopsie? - sSNAKESs : Reptile Forum "Looks fine, the white stuff is urates (snakes don't pee) and the dark stuff is feces" I did not know this........I just ordered The Garter Snakes: Evolution and Ecology book. Guess I should have done this a month ago. So if it's just urates, what about the feces?? Do I need to hold food until she passes some or just keep feeding like I have been?

VERY helpful, thanks much Steve.

Sounds like feces and urates. The color can change as to what they have been eating. Check out this thread.

I know she just shed but try putting her in a warm shed box(over night or a long time) (keep it warm all night if you can) since she doesn't like the warm water baths. This might help her bowls move. I'd feed her fish n worms only till she poops. (stuff that is easy digestible and will pass fast) Might help 'pull' something through.

?? I'm just guessing, hopping that this may help. Worth a shot.

Also change out substrate to paper towels would be an idea for now.

I think I'll do this, since she LOVES her worms and fish. I'll do the shed box tonite if nothing shows up today. I've got her on Carefresh Ulta so anything should show up on that. After last night with the soak battle and shed I really don't want to stress her out any more by taking away her carefresh. Thanks

Gail...another great book that someone recommended to me on here: What's Wrong with My Snake? by Rossi and Rossi. You can find it cheap on Amazon. A guide book to snake ailments. I reference it all the time. Very good book. Keep us posted on Zena. You might want to take out the substrate and put her on paper towels until you can see that she is pooping normally.

Thank Marnie. That'll be next weeks purchase.

No poop report, but she ate salmon like a champ this morning, and she acts normal and looks good. At least to me she looks good.
