Hey guys,
Ive never actually seen a regurge in person before, so I just want to make sure thats what it is instead of me mistaking something else for it...
Lucky for you guys, you get to see pictures! LOL
I just got her shipped in yesterday morning, and found this in her cage this morning. Im assuming she just got too stressed from the move... poor tummy!

Thanks for the help!

I forgot to mention that next to/attached to this there was what looked like a normal poop... Did she regurge or just not fully digest?
 
What does it smell like? If you pick it apart, what does it consist of? Can you find any definite mouse parts?
 
It smells like horse manure (not fresh, but after its been sitting out dryed a bit), and it was mostly mushy poop looking and textured stuff surrounded by a fuzzy "coat" (very obviously the skin of the mouse). It came off very easily, but split into one "coat" and 2 lumps of poop like stuff.
 
i didnt see any bones or intact parts, so im starting to thing it was a big undigested poo, although there are still some doubts

Trust me on this, if your snake regurged you would would smell the difference as soon as you walked in the room. A regurge is a strong smell. That is probably crap. I wouldn't worry about it, wait about 7 days and do not hold or touch your snake until then. I assume this is for your Ball python. They can be really touchy and do not like to be held until you give them this down time, some of mine didn't adjust until 2 week later.
 
Thank you for that information... and yes, this is for my new ball. Also, do you mean instead of the usual 3 days for the corn I should wait 7 until I hold my ball? Or just that some can be touchier than others?

Im still trying to learn about them, and all this information is really helpful- thanks!
