My snake let out his first dook that ive seen and it was rather runny, he has pooped again since but it was much smaller and dry. Do baby snakes, kinda like baby humans, have a wide range of dook consistency?
 
Snakes and birds share a distant ancestry. They seem to share a common poop. Particularly baby snakes. Older ones seem to have a somewhat more solid consistency.

Remember also that they don't have a seperate plumbing system for liquid waste. It's all mixed together.
 
Alright thats what i figured, but i couldn't find what i was looking for about corns and i read that boa's drop pretty solid dooks so i wasnt sure. Thanks!

Actually, (I learned from my new snake book) birds and crocodilians are the most closely related. Crocodilians just got dumped into reptiles because they resembled lizards.

But it is true that birds and snakes share a similar anatomy in which the urinary waste products and the intestinal waste products empty into a common internal chamber and then are eliminated together.
