    Alright well, if it was regurge, you would have smelled it. Trust us.

    Now on to the next issue....PINKIES???? for a BP??
    Pinkies are WAY too small for a ball python. BPs eat hoppers right out of the egg, and only for the first 3-5 meals. Then they move up to small adult mice or rat fuzzies.

    Considering how long you have had the animal my guess this is the last of the fur from when the animal was properly fed.

    You can feed 5 pinkies or 10 or 50 it will still not make your BP being adequately fed, you are basically starving this animal, which means it will not grow nor pass fecal matter. Pinkies are watery blob that contain a little fat due to the milk, and not appropriated for for a BP only young colubrids.

    Time to get back to basics.

    As long as it was just because they were all out and she needed to eat, it's fine. A one time this is nothing to stress out about and you know better for next time. I have made the same mistake for when I couldn't get any nice and I ended up feeding Calliope 3 pinkies instead, now that you know you shouldn't do that, I'm sure you won't do it again. Most people don't realize pinkies are as nutritional because they don't think of the differences in diet and such but it's a rookie mistake and I'm sure you won't do it again now that you've been warned.

    If that was resurge it would smell pretty bad. I've seen some pretty weird looking poo from Calliope before but then again I've never seen regurge before so I can't say for sure.

    Omg so many typos I feel a little dumb looking back on this. I meant not many people realize pinkies AREN'T as nutritious as regular mice.
