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

Question

My royal python has just gone into shed and dedicated, this is normal, however she has passed what looks like a solid green blob amongst the faeces, I am worried that this shows signs of an infection, she is one year old, female and eats weekly without problems.

Dr. Strydom, DVM · Accepted Answer

Green stools could indicate an internal parasite infection. She may have had parasites all along or she may have contracted something from her prey. I personally don't think that stool looks all that abnormal/green. If I were you I would monitor her closely and if this type of stool continues then I would recommend you speak to a reptile veterinarian and have a fecal test done. For now, since she is eating and acting normally I would just monitor her closely. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
