Our sister in law has a male fantasy corn snake. He usually poos a couple of times between feeds. Lately he has passed a skull in the second poo between feeds, two times now. Has anyone else ever experienced this? None of our snakes have ever done this.

hmm, the only thing I can think of is that it is too cold for it to digest the food- try upping the temperature and see if that helps..  |

She uses a heat mat, so I will take a thermostat around to see what its temps are getting up to.
Will post tomorrow or Friday to let you know.

cool- it is probably something like that as thats the only thing I can really think of that would cause the rodent to be undigested... |

Internal parasites could cause partially undigested food. Maybe if it continues to do it after the temps are fine she should take a fecal sample to the vets?

Great news, I bet your sister-in-law is really happy. I'm glad it wasn't anything serious.
