wondering if its normal for snake poo to be covered in mucus like substance? these were bits of poo comprised of hard packed rat fur. rest of poo was normal. anyone have experince with this please? p.s. not concerned just curious, im thinking it might be natural biological response to fur, helping to pass it? sorry no pic
