So i got this snake approximately a week ago from a guy on fb who was selling her , he had no substate for her, no under tank heating matt and didn't have a lid for the small tank so he had the tank upside down over her... Had a small water dish that se couldn't fit in even if she tried.... The first time i fed her was 3 days after i got her and she ate two fuzzes .... So i went out and bought a larger cage, substrate, bigger water dish, and under the tank heating matt..... I found one normal dark coloured poop ( i think) however i fed her one fuzzy yesterday and came up today and found this ontop of the substate near the glass .... I don't know what it is .... It has small white oval shaped objects however when touch or any pressure is applied they squish n smear And there is a yellowish substance with it....... HELP I'm

Doesn't look like a regurge to me, but it isn't the healthiest poop. Some of my really old snakes have gray lumpy defecation sometimes, and it resembles that. I wouldn't run to the vet just yet, but definitely keep an eye on her. Good luck!
 
Well do u think maybe i should go and get her checked seeing how she came from less than ideal conditions

It's poop. To me, it looks like poop from a snake who hasn't been eating much/for a while. _Sometimes_ you'll see poop sort of like that when a snake switches to furred mice and the fur goes through not so digested. That shape. But that looks like the kind of waxy poo of a snake who has not been eating.
 
Well like i said i got her from less than ideal conditions , ill have to take a pic of her stretched out n see what u guys say in how much i should be feeding her , when she ate two my bf said to be careful she could be power eating

And, if you have other snakes, isolate her just as a general precaution, for at least three months.
 
He was feeding her once every two weeks..... Said if u want it to get big then feed it every week n if u don't then once every two weeks .... When i got her on june 25 he had fed her 3 days ago , then on the 26 i fed her two and then this wed only one cause im scared she is power eating

And she is constantly buried in her substrate , never out in the open during the day unless i dig to find her ....

I think I would try her with one hopper, next week. Rule of thumb is a mouse as wide in diameter as the snake at the snake's widest part, no more than 1.5 x as wide as the snake. She's small enough to be on weekly feedings.
