I always know when Kratos comes out of hibernation. He goes on a MASSIVE binge and this is what happens. This is 2 days’ worth of waste, all from him!  His waste is dark brown. Everyone else’s is like an offwhite. In general he hibernates for 2-4 weeks and then binge eats. Unable to get photo; he’s behind the driftwood.

This ONLY happens with my King Koopa nerite.  The other nerites don't hibernate or leave giant waste piles like this.
