Poop or Ney?

So I fed my corn on Monday as instructed by the shop because that was their normal feeding day. I left her alone till last night when I got home to clean her water and just to see if she was doing okay. She seemed a little more friendlier and didnt hide when I put her back in. I woke up to this nice present, it is regurge or poop? Everyone told me wait 48 hours and I did before I handled her, still too soon eh? What to do now if this is regurge? Thanks for the help.

Difficult to tell from the photo as it's very blurry but I suspect it's a poop with a little of the skin left. I wouldn't worry. If it didn't smell really foul (and I mean continue to smell as fresh poop is a bit stinky) then I would figure it's poop. There should be mostly brown, with a little liquid (which dries quickly) and some yellow or white urates. Sometimes a little undigested skin will be in there. If you're feeding f/t, you can make a few cuts in the back of the pinky or whatever you're feeding to make it easier to digest.

It is hard to tell from the photo, but if you are not 100% sure, I'd treat it as a regurge. I'd wait 10 days before I fed again, then fed a small pinky. It is not going to hurt the snake to wait a few extra days before feeding. If it was just his poop, then no harm done. But, if it was in fact a regurge, then you are following the proper procedure. Better to be safe then sorry, you don't want to feed too soon if it was a regurge.

Well I fed her last night kinda late, this pinkie was much smaller than the previously one and she ate it backwards....well you know what I mean. So far shes doing well, havent seen her since yesterday which means shes hiding again under the aspen. Her fav place :) I think she is doing just fine now.
