Just a few questions, Since my last post I fed my corn the fuzzy and everything seemed fine, no problem feeding at all (thanks for the advice) but my snakes poo looks different to when it was feeding on the pinkies, there seemed to be a kind of lime green powdery stuff in it which wasnt there previously is this normal or is there something wrong with my snake??? Also my snake seems to be spending all of it's time in the cool spot of the tank, I haven't seen it move to the warm side since I bought it (I have hides on both sides) again is this normal. Finally I thought that snakes like to bathe but my snake doesnt seem to have any interest in the water bowl at all and again I have not yet seen it drink. Any thoughts appreciated...

the powdery stuff you are talking about seems to be snake pee-pee. They get most their water from the prey. Snakes are pretty effeicient that way. Mine hang out most the time too and also i have never seen my corns in thee water either. I've seen my snow motley drink once.

Snakes have no need to bathe and if you see them in the water bowl a lot its usually more because the humidity is too low. I've seen mine drink from his water bowl quite a few times. He also spends a lot of time on the cool side as well, so I guess its a normal thing.

I dont know if anyone is going to believe this but after just complaining of not seeing my snake in the water I have just seen it completely submerged in it's water bowl and swimming round and round in the water bowl is THIS normal??????? :?

Welcome to the wonderful and weird word of snake ownership. Just as you think something is wrong or they are not supposed to do that according to he miilions of caresheets you read, your snake does it. Dont blame the snake they havent read the caresheets, they didnt know that they are driving you up the tree with what they are doing.
