Forgive me if this is n00b, I'm just in amazement of this. I have owned this Borneo (hatched in October 2011, so about 9 months old) since November. She has only excreted a handful of times, but hasn't for probably the past four months. I was worried at first, but after browsing forums and consulting those with more expertise, was reassured that this is normal for this species. They only shed and excrete a handful of times a year.

The question I have is- is this normal? Or rather, is this a sign of a healthy borneo? Any feedback with more experience is appreciated.

*note* the hide and water bowl were removed from the cage to take the picture and I cleaned the enclosure shortly after.

Goodness, that IS impressive. :rofl:

Looks well formed and all that, so I wouldn't think it's a problem.
 
That is pretty normal for those types. The consistency is good and well formed.

Wait till she is full grown... those are some MASSIVE poos.
 
It is common in captivity for bloods to pass stools like this. One of the biggest problems with them however is also constipation, because they are so sendintary. My advice is handle him alot, this will give him exercise and help him get him to pass bowel movements.
 
looks like normal stool, just giant.

handling and even soaking my coax him into doing his business more often. I only briefly owned a blood, but a BIG water dish (sometimes even placing a heat pad under it so the water would be lukewarm) will help him "let loose" haha.
