My ball python poop doesn’t smell bad at all. The only snake that i have that consistently has stinking poop is my canebrake. I know the very second I open the snake room doot that he has gone.

Ok, so if their pee is white, then what was with all the clear-ish liquid that came out with my snakes poo?

Um... might want to get that checked out, becuase snake turds should be solid and dry, not runny. At least for ball pythons right? I’m not sure about other species. But Diablo’s poop is always solid, black and white, and SMELLY.

Yup, I’ll explain a bit more for people who want a more detailed, disgusting explanation, lol.

Brown Log = Feces. Should be solid, much like a dog or cat poop. Runny = bad, so if your bp’s bowel movement is consistently runny for a few consecutive bowel movements, you might want to take a fecal sample in to the vets to get it checked out for parasites.

White Lump = Urates. Dry, powdered substance. It’s excess uric acid, to be a bit more specific. Perfectly normal and common.

Clear/Yellow Liquid = Urine. Just like you or I, a ball python urinates too.
