Considering the HIGH calcium content of snake poop, I would agree with Kehhlyr
Calcium is highly reactive with even the smallest bit of water. The fizzing would be the release of hydrogen :P

Wow Chemistry and snakes on the samae page... That's made my day..
Interesting question though....
Do I get a single gold star for pointing out the small flaw in the logic???
Solid calcium (soft silvery metal) is highly reactive and loves water.. Nagini, being a living thing is probably about 70 % water, as is the rest of the poop so the fizzing would happen long before it leaves the snake which if it didn't explode from the pressure would have holes burnt in the side of her..... Not a nice thought.. sorry!!
The calcium in snake poo will already be in a harmless state such as calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate.. Even if this was left in direct contact with the heat mat for a month would unlikely reduce to the oxide which may fizz on contact with the water which is possible, sort of.. Alternatively there may have been a reaction between the bleach in the cleaning fluid and the acidity in the poop (from digestion liquids) which would give off chlorine gas... Did it by chance smell of swimmingpools??
Nice mix of chemistry and snakes though.. Very impressed. |
