See the yellowish/brownish, somewhat sphere shaped thingy in it? This was Freya's 3rd poo in a row with such a thingy in it, some even had 2 or 3 and I remember seeing it a couple of times when a poo of another snake was dropped in the waterbowl... it 'washed' out of it.... what are those thingy's? They usually come with a small poo, some urine and it smells way worse then regular poo.... :shrugs:

Looks like undigested mouse parts.

Looks like it might be partially digested mouse to me. My bull snake did a similar thing when she had a gut infection.. basically she didnt regurge but pooped out bits of mice that werent fully digested, hence why they stank really bad, as u wud expect from a regurge. you may want to get ur vet to do a fecal sample for you to check for bugs that cud be preventing normal digestion.

Are you sure its not a regurge? Cause its a total possibility it is. If it was my snake I would be treating it as a regurge if I saw that.

Even with the poo colored stuff and the urine like stuff it's together with?

Yep, that's definately a bit of mouse. I know, I see them around from my cat gutting stuff lol.

I've never seen a regurge look like that, with black and urates in it. It looks like the usual poo with undigested bits of rodent in it.
If it were me, I'd check to make sure the temps are in the decent range. Maybe you're feeding her too large of a rodent too frequently, perhaps? I've never seen it more than once every so often.

I'd say undigested mouse as well.
I don't think I will ever look at a spatula quite the same....
JM :o)

i agree. that looks like undigested bits (since i've seen a few regurges now) - i would definitely check for parasites or even just treat for parasites... either way... i'd be getting some care for the snake. :D and i'd be throwing away that spatula!hahahahaha
