Pinkie Not Yet Digested?

We are still in the middle of our regurge protocol on our 3 month old corn. Since the regurge, we fed it a half pinkie for the second time last Sunday (8 days ago). Unless we missed it, he has not pooped. We went to go feed it another half pinkie today, and we noticed a slight bulge halfway down his body. Is the half pinkie from last Sunday still not digested? Wouldn't have he regurged it by now?

We became a little bit worried, so we didn't feed it today and wanted to see what you all think.

Thank you as always!

What is the temp of the cage? Heat has a lot to do with digestion. If you could postsome pics that would be very helpful, of the viv and your corn. Hope everything is okay!

Baby snake poop is very tiny, especially if his last meal was only half a pinkie, so you may not even find it. If it's been eight days, and there definitely isn't a regurge, then he's digested it. I would feed him again.

The "slight bulge" makes me kind of nervous, though. There shouldn't be a bulge at all.

I second Nanci... if there is still a bulge there, I'm a bit worried as well.
