See below: The color of the stool can vary, depending on how quickly it passes through the intestinal tract. As long as he is not have chronic diarrhea, or blood in his stool, i would not be concerned.

Normal: The stool color is provided by the bile from the liver that is adds to fecal debris.It starts out a deep green & slowly changes thru greens to yellows to browns as the germs in the intestines metabolize the bile.Green generally means the stool in question moved through faster or was subject to less change by gut germs.
