for what it's worth I think it's normal. My guy poops all the time... let's see, he last ate on Wednesday, cleaned the water dish Saturday and Sunday, and had to change part of the paper towel today. So today's poop was 5 days after he last ate

Ah, you know what Kev, I totally forgot something! I did have a few fish in his dish(wow, feeling like Dr. Seuss) and he gradually ate them, eating the last one Friday I think, so nevermind... it still seems like he poops all the time, tho!

ahh ok hmmm hopefully one of the garter veterans on here can answer this question then

Kev, the white stuff is the calcium from the bones of the food. Crystals are called urates and they don't seem to keep a schedule.

When you see them dragging a newspaper into the hide, it's time

Pregnancy affects pooping cycles, much the same as it does humans.

The girl has a bunch of mini snakes inside her abdomen. So pooping is going to be affected, and eating also.

Wayne,
Can you please explain as to why Garters like to poop in their water?
Thanks!
Jack
