 Pooping

How often do boa’s poop? I have only had mine since the 2nd and he has pooped twice! Anyways, also, is it sometimes wet because I have had to replace all the papertowels since the poop was kind of wet too.

Nathan,
There is no certain schedule... just as humans... animals defecate when they need to. if you are sure it is poop.. and it is often and wet...runny... I would number 1 make sure it isn’t urates...that you’re mistaken for poop (the difference is urates are white... sometimes a yellowish color..this is urine not poop) number 2.. once I’ve established that it is poop... then I may consider a vet check for internal parasites if this continues.
Good luck.. keep us informed
Susan

Hey, thanks. Well, the poop isn’t really wet and runny, although the paper towels are always kind of wet and soaked up a lot of junk once he does poop/pee.
