Yellowish mini-stool

[Nicole]

Hi All,

Clarice, (the baby Olive) passed a stool where the white part looked normal, but there was no brown part, just this extra yellowish kind of crystally crunchy looking bits.

I know this is not normal, any one seem it before, can give me any info on what it is, how serious it is and what treatment I need to apply?

All info greatly appreciated,

Cheers.

Thanks Meg, I certainly hope so...

I should of said she is 8-9 months old, eating weaner rats, due to 'recycle' one soon, and seems happy and well in all other regards.

Just that I've never seen anything yellowish come out of her (or my other snakes) ever before, so as the hypochondriac that I am, I have to check out every 'different' thing that happens to any of them.. All previous 8months worth of her poos have been your standard healthy looking dark and light combo.

Thanks Meg, am glad to know it is nothing...

No probs, should get you over to clean out a few of my olives enclosures, only know exactly what it is as it is a bitch to scrape up. Mate of mine used to give it to his kids to draw on their driveway with (ewwwwwww). My cat also knows having had a diamond drop marbles and spray heap of pee all over him (poor buggar)

Nicole,
As Meg said, it sounds like all it is, is Urate, very surprised you haven't seen it until now, but nothing to worry about.

Always better to be on the safe side and ask if your worried though.

Yep, weird, seen plenty of white solid, brown solid and clear liquid, but never yellow solid before.. then again, only been keeping for a year and a bit.. but glad to know it's nothing to worry about...

I'd always rather look like a goose for asking than risk it. Thanks for your reply
