<b>Okay I'm worried!</b>

I fed Jinx last on the 3rd. I fed him a small peach fuzzie, and a little pinkie. Just a little while ago when I went to get him out to let him out to roam around on my bed and take a few updated pictures of him,. I lifted up his stump hide and was horrified to see this smelly, once looked to be brown sludge, but now cooked by UTH... thing. I do not know if this thing is poop, or a regurge. I took a few pictures, before getting a plastic spoon and scrapping it up off of the tank. It just crumbled when I did that. I was trying to see if I saw any bones, but didn't see any.

What do you all think?
Poop? Regurge?

Should I hold off on feeding him?

If it is a regurge, maybe I fed him to much? I know he was eating two medium pinkies without a problem, so I don't know why eating a small peach fuzzie and a small pinkie would have made him do it. I feel like a really bad snake mommy right now!
 
I'd say that's regurgitated.

It looks like that probobly because it was right on the heating pad. Making it a little brownish color. I'd say feed your snake in 10 days.
 
I found something very similar to that next to his water bowl two days ago.

I don't think it could have been a regurge because I fed him 6 days before that.

I didn't think anything of it because he fed so lang before that. I just thought it was poop.

Could it have been regurge if he had fed 6 days before???
 
Yes... The regurge can take a long time to happen. To be safe, I'd assume they were both regurges and wait the standard 10 days before feeding...

That might be a problem because I just fed mine a fuzzy yesterday, but he seems to be fine. Somehow I dont think it was a regurge because by day 6 he had no lump anymore and the little brown spot was very very small. Definately NOT the size of a fuzzy.
 
Regurges can occur anytime, even after the pinky/fuzzy/whatever has been partially, or even almost completely, digested. Keep a close watch over you snake, King21, to see if it happens again. If it does, then definately treat your snake for regurges....ie, wait 10 days, very small food item, etc.

Thanks.
Do you think I should wait 10 days from today or wait 10 days from the day that I fed him?
