Was cleaning my BP's tank and found this?

It was on the Cool side of the tank, by the water dish, my fiancee said. It looks like hair from his mouse and substrate, that he threw up

Just based on the shape...it doesn't look like a regurge to me. I see urates around it- oftentimes my snakes will give me a tiny poo with mostly hair along with their pee and urates.

Hopefully some others will chime in, too.

Edit: okay, those are paper towels, not urates. :rolleyes: Still, I think the odds of being just a weird poo are good.

Here's the thing. I Don't have paper towels in there at all. BUT the breeder had him on paper towels. Is it possible that he ate some of it when they fed him before me?

The substrate I use is T-Rex desert Snow.

The desert snow could be what I'm seeing, too. could you perhaps get a pic of this in natural light? There's a lot going on, and I'm just not sure what I'm looking at here.

Just to be clear, is the whitish stuff behind the brown 'poo' substrate? Or is that part of the poo in question? If its just the brown you're concerned about, I wouldn't be worried. I have poops like that all the time.

And by that I mean my snakes have poops, not me :)

I Flushed it >< I probably shouldn't have done that.

But i mean, he seems healthy? He ate 48 hours ago with no problems. The substance i found was hard as a rock, and seems like it had been there a long while. I handled him this evening and he was all over the place and wasn't showing any signs of sickness or stress.
