Certainly not a snake, snake poo usually contains a white paste (uream) in its secretion.Originally Posted by GH

Do I have a snake in my garage?
Google is conflicting but I can't work out what animal this would belong to.

Frog poop. We find them in our garden regularly. Had a small frog family that stayed here. Came out early evening for a swim in the bird baths we have in the garden

If you can, break the turd and try and identify whether the contents contains plant/insect or rodent parts. Then you can narrow down the list of suspects.

I would also go with frog. White tip on poo is absent.
Only one way to be 100% sure. Dress up as a frog and sit still in the garage. If a snake comes to eat you, you have a snake. If a frog comes to mate with you, you have frog.

I hear from a very reliable source that if you take the item in question, swished it around in your mouth for 30 seconds and begin to taste a slightly slimy flavour mixed with mosquito spray, you definitely have a frog. Originally Posted by LandyLove

Maybe you have a snake and a frog...

I would say a gheko.
We have a couple around the house.
Most turds do have a white tip, but occasionally do get them without the white tip.
We find ours near open windows, guessing that they hang around here hoping to catch the odd miggie?
