Normally his poo is solid and quite dry. Last night he was making noised that sounded almost like a radiator an this morning I had to clean his tank. |

Chick poos are AWFUL! We occassionally feed our kings chicks, but we definitely know the difference when it comes out the other end.
I would also recommend putting him on rats as this is what they would eat in the wild and their body is designed to digest them better.
Was the diarrea a funny colour or smell? It might be worth a trip to the vets to check for parasites |

as BE said, it could just be due to the food. A bad egg so to speak. i think you had mentioned before in a thread a while ago about this snake being on chicks? Really would be a benefit to the snake if you could get it on to rodents, and of course rats would be best.
what weight is he?
I would suggest trying with rats and scenting them with the chicks. |

Chicks can do that to snakes, they're not ideal food for snakes and can upset the stomach. Personally I would try to move over to rats but you may have difficulties from it having been fed chicks for so long. |

He's been fed on chicks for about 12 years, once a week. In a viv on substrate, last went about last week.
Waters same an he seems alright have checked him under...I've had him a year or so an was first time it had happened thought it was a bit strange. |

I'm sure some one else will come along soon but in the mean time a few questions.
what is he feeding?
how often?
is he fed in rub or in viv on substrate?
when did he last go?
has he been/appear to have been drinking more water recently?
Does he appear ok now, no blood, pinkness around vent etc? |
