My royal python has green poop after shedding. Should I be worried?

Thanks for reaching out about Francis. If the stool appears well formed and normal otherwise, monitoring the situation is appropriate. If Francis is showing any behavioral or other changes, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Peppo. Greenish powder would be suggestive of urates (kidney product) and the green can be a result of not eating well or liver disease. When they don't eat well, bile salts (used in digestion), aren't reabsorbed, are excreted in the kidneys. Liver disease can also result in the same situation. If continues to not eat, check and correct husbandry parameters. Persistent concerns need to be addressed with a veterinary visit. Good luck.

Green feces in a hedgehog is usually an indication of simple gastrointestinal upset. There are a variety of causes for GI upset in these guys, usually arising from dietary indiscretion. They can also be the victim of some GI parasites. I would recommend having the feces looked at microscopically to rule out a parasites. If there is no diarrhea and Tep's appetite is OK however, I don't see a need to advise for veterinary intervention at this time. If there is a decreased appetite and evidence of loose stool, finding someone to examine your hedgehog might be useful. Hope this makes sense.

This is a cloacal prolapse that you are seeing. The cloaca is the common tube where all the feces, urine and reproductive tracts meet and is just inside the opening there. This can happen in a few different cases such as stones in the urine or stool, or egg binding if Titan was mature a female. If you have not seen Titan shed and he/she has not been defecating regularly, then I would be suspicious of dehydration. If Titan came from the wild, then parasites would also be a suspicion. The humidity should be good in your area, but I would ensure the humidity is at least 60%. If you don't have a hygrometer, then this can be purchased from the pet store. The best this you can do is take Titan to a reptile vet for an exam. There may be something going on that you would not be able to correct at home. For now, I would soak Titan in warm water for 15-30 minutes a day. I've put a link to a video that shows how to soak a snake. Make sure Titan also has an area in the enclosure where he/she can soak as wanted. To ensure everything else is being done right I've also included a link to great information about python care. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmgYm-GghM8 http://www.anapsid.org/ball.html I hope that helps and Titan gets better soon.

Green stool can happen in hedgehogs. It can be caused by a variety of reasons, including stress, illness, or diet change. If he otherwise seems normal than you can monitor him and see if the color goes back to normal, especially if you have introduced a new food. If you have any concern that your hedgehog is sick, take him to a veterinarian. It is fine to add water to his food but you should still offer him fresh water in a water bottle at all times.

Thanks for reaching out about Princess and including a photo. Green feces is sometimes an indication of parasitic enteritis. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and perform a fecal examination for parasites. Good luck.

Coprophagy is rare in reptiles but it has been observed. It is unknown why they do it. Reasons range from hormonal changes to aggression or simple boredom/curiosity. It is typically a self limiting behavior that may last days or weeks. If she is eating a balanced diet and is behaving normally otherwise, then a vet visit is likely not necessary. Try to clean up her stool as soon as you can to prevent the behavior. Monitor for lethargy, loose droppings or a decrease in appetite. These symptoms would warrant an exam with your herp veterinarian.
