    Stool question

    So I feed Sage a combination of worms and fuzzys for a diet. I've noticed in her last few bm's that there are sometimes still sizable, recognizable worm remains. No mouse remains however. Is this normal or something to be concerned about?

    I have had that happen before.
    Something to keep an eye on if it persists.

    I think once in awhile get a bad worm and pass it through quickly.

    Mine ate nothing but fish for a very long time, and there were never any recognizable fish bits in his stools. It did occaisionally happen when he was a baby on worms, though.

    I had that happen once with Snap, it never happens, though, aside from that one time. She's a really healthy snake, as far as I can tell. I'm not quite that worried about her. Perhaps it was something like a stomach upset and the worm was causing it, so it was purged out of her system before it was digested fully.

    Re: Stool question

    I would highly recommend you get some of this, and give it to your snake. Sounds like his gut flora might not be up to par.
