It looks a bit concerning, what did she last eat?

Can you help? Should I be worried? Looks like it should be fine. Snail poop can look different depending on what they've been eating, what part of their digestion cycle they're in etc. I can't see anything in the pic to be concerned about. Is the snail eating and behaving normally? |

Um, is it really unusual and a cause for concern? My snails have this sort of multi-coloured poo when they eat various foods in a short period of time. For example, if they graze twigs that decorate their tank, then eat some zucchini, carrot and calcium, their poo can be brown, green, orange and white at the same time.
Or is it something else that worries you that has nothing to do with the colour?

I don't know if snail can poop out mucus or it's just me overthinking lol |

I think it should be ok. I guess just keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior. I hope all goes well!
