Poop

my snake took a pinkie mouse on sunday, it has now been 2 days, so it should be ready to lay a bog any time soon i think.

roughly.. how big is the poop i should be looking for? and will i be able to smell it?

i dont care if it stinks, if it stunk i would give my snake a hi 5 (if it had arms) but i just wanna know easy ways of identifying whether its done its business without having to poke aorund in its enclosure

You should see a white blob, which is the calcium and then a little worm like brown poo, you can't smell it really with little ones, but you will notice it. they arn't too big if it's still on pinkies.

Use absorbent paper towels for substrate. You'll easily see when they poop and to clean up all you do is take the dirty paper out and put some fresh paper in.
With cat litter substrate its easy to get lazy and only do spot cleaning, which isn't very hygeinic.

Yeah get the paper towels in there, that's what I use for hatchies and then either fake grass or newspaper for the bigger one.

isn't it uric acid?
