Only urine

I've noticed a lot of my snakes excreting only urine lately. They each had a big fish meal a few days ago, so I know that's not digested. Is it healthy for them to be passing this much urinary excrement? *Trying to be technical. :P*

Re: Only urine

have you ever fed garters fish and then fed them pinkies, and looked at the difference?

mine always pee a lot after they eat fish....

and when you feed them pinkies... they are much less messy.

anyone see this trend?

Yes, absolutely! And if you really want to make a mess use nightcrawlers!

I've never had runny poo with nightcrawlers, but that fish is definitely causing this. XD
I woke up this morning and said "What the hell is that smell?!"
