Not pinkies, but actual furred mice.. what does the stool look like afterward? I've had my marinus for about two and half years and normally just feed her roaches and hornworms, so I'm used to a blackish mess in the water bowl full of pieces of roach exoskeleton. But recently I had a couple of extra feeder mice thawed out that none of the snakes wanted, so I tossed them into her food dish as a treat. Tonight, I noticed two moist, fibrous reddish-brown things in her terrarium. The fact that they were on land was odd, and so was everything else about them. The fiber seems too fine to be substrate, so I assume it's hair. It has neither the meat smell that a snake regurge has nor the toilet smell that her stool normally has, so basicaly I'm just trying to figure out which end it came out of and if it sounds normal.
 
Sounds like my rat snake's stool (although it's usually rather foul smelling). The hair tends to give it a rope-like consistency.
 
I have a 2 lb african bullfrog and it's droppings are reddish brown and "fury" after eating rodents as well. It's nothing I have ever worried about.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
