Hi, I just noticed my new snake had a small amount of brown substance in his tank. It was around his mouth like he was playing with it but im not sure if it came from his mouth or not. I think it did but not sure. Thing is he had his last meal on monday. So its been 6 days. and it was only a small amoumt of brown goo. He pooped yesterday and today. His next feeding is tomorrow. Should i go ahead a feed or wait the recommended 8 - 10 days?

if it's been six days, it's probably just poop and it's coincidence that it was near his face. once you've smelled a regurge you'll know it. just to be on the safe side you may want to wait a full ten days before feeding again and use some nutri-bac on a much smaller meal than you normally feed. and then follow the regurge procedure.

yea i will def wait the 10 days just to be on safe side tks. and as for nutri bac i dont have any (just bout this snake few days ago) and pet store dont have any. gonna buy some online to have on hand though. it is a 2 yr old king snake. i know this is cornsnake forum but i use to have cornsnake and be on this site so i wanted to stick with this site. what size of a mouse should i feed him on his next feeding? S/he is on 1 adult mouse every 7 days now.

If the pet store lets you pick and choose what mousicles you want, I would get a reg sized fuzzie for the next meal. Then pick 2-3 hoppers for the next few meals after the fuzzie. You want to vary the sizes so you can gradually move him back to adult size mice.

is it normal for a snake to poop like 6 times even after a regurg? its been a wk today since my snake "regurged". still not sure if it was but he pooped like 6 times since then. i have to clean his tank every day since he regurged.

How does you snake appear otherwise? Are the poops solid or mostly liquid? While it can be norm, if he's going everyday and this snake is new to you, I'd want to rule out health issues.
