Partial Regurge?

Do crons ever regurge just a portion of thier meal like three days later? That is what mine seems to have done. I fed him a f/t fuzzy on sunday and today i found a small blob of crap about the size of a dime that i think may be a regurge. It is so small so i am wondering if it could be a partial regurge.

It could be a partial regurge but a lot of people make the mistake of thinking poo is regurge. Fortunately, I have not had a regurge but I am told that there is a big difference in smell.

I know what poop looks like and this was much different, but definately smaller than the size of fuzzy he was fed on sunday. So I am unsure of what it could be.

If you were used to feeding pinkies and then changed to fuzzies, then the poop will look different. There is hair on fuzzies which a lot of times doesn't get digested(not a whole lot of nutritional value).

If you don't know for sure, the safest thing to do is to treat it as a regurge. Also, try to determine what might have caused it (e.g. temps, prey-size, etc.). I moved one of my '03 females up to an adult mouse last feeding, and she left me an ambiguous pile of stuff. She won't be eating for another ten days.

You can't mistake the smell of a regurge. If it didn't smell like the worst thing you've ever smelled in your life, then it was probably just poo. When one of my snakes regurgitates, I know it as soon as I walk in the room.

Here are a couple of pics of the thing. I have seen stuff just like this in the cage before but with more of it. Do you think it is poo or a regurge?

That doesn't look like a regurge at all, to me. Carry on normally...

Agreed.
And I'm serious about the smell. The smell will clear up any doubt. On a scale of 1-10 of bad smells (10 being the worst), the worst snake poo I've ever experienced was about a 4 or 5 and the average regurge is a 9-10. If you don't gag when you smell it, it's not a regurge.

Really? I guess that is good. But what do you think it could be? I have seen that type of gunk in the viv a couple of times before. Do you have a pic or two of an actual regurge?
