Are you sure you got your temps down and everything? And are you sure he regurgitated that mouse, and it wasn't just liquid (the puke)? I would think 6 days would be too long, the mouse would probably already have been digested.
Edit- Ya, that pic looks like feces. Snakes do not digest things like the fur and fat of the food item so most likely that's just the fur the snake defecated.

It doesn't really look like a normal poop, but i don't think it's a regurge because you would have definately smelled that one.

It looks more like poo then a regurge, however it's a weird one. I've never seen a turd that looked like that.

I'll go against the grain and say it DOES look like a regurge to me. Either way - I'd suggest that it may be prudent to get a real fecal sample (one that doesn't look like that) and drop it off at your veterinary office to test for internal parasites.
My very first ball python regurgitated, and it was recommended to me to get a fecal test done. Sure enough, he tested positive for strongile parasites. Two doses of oral panacur took care of it.
If it IS a regurgitation, you should allow your snake 2 weeks before feeding again, so that his natural gut flora has a chance to re-build. Otherwise, you may be facing another regurge.

Dont even remind me! One of my female adults regurged a big rat and it smelt my whole house up for a few hours! Rat poop and piss smells like heaven compared to it!
