What the heck came out of my snake?

My Hypo Black Pastel has an RI at the moment, which is being treated and I'm not certain it's related to this specific issue but, eh, someone may thinks it's relevant.
Twice this week she has pooped out two of these off white kind of "fleshy" masses. They're about the size of a penny and definitely not urates or poop, they don't smell like either as well, but they vaguely seem like semi-digested food to me. I picked about the first mass that was passed and I didn't see any visible parasites in it (obviously that doesn't mean it isn't parasitic) and it just find it rather odd.
I also tried looking up information but I haven't found anything that seems to describe this so can anyone identify what this is and maybe give some insight to the possible cause? Thank you!

My gut instinct says parasites. Maybe take it to your vet and they can biopsy it or something? Seems strange that if it was parasites that they would be all balled up like that...

I'm not particularly convinced that the entire ball is parasites, maybe they're lurking in there, but I don't think that's what it is in and of itself. It's just really bizarre like mostly digested flesh.

I do have it in the fridge in a specimen tube though and if I can manage to get down to my vet, I will probably ask for some tests done. Everything is really killing my wallet though but I guess this is the consequences of getting BPs on the cheap from nondescript sources. Won't be making that mistake ever again. 6 - 9

I really have no idea. What were your temps last time you fed?

How old is the snake and what is the gender of it? Make sure to get that thing checked... If not parasites, maybe a sort of non-developed egg.

Mackynz, Ambient temps are usually between 82-85F, been a little higher recently since the vet wanted me to bump them, and the last time she ate was 20 days ago.

Maegalcarwen, VERY unlikely it'd be an undeveloped egg, this came from a five month old female hatchling so I don't even think she's in the arena of being sexually mature. Also, I've never seen undeveloped eggs in BPs specifically but I have a general idea and this does not come close.
The soonest I can get a biopsy done on it is Monday so I have to let it sit over the weekend unfortunately but I'm definitively bringing it in to the vet.

Could it be a chunk of crusty puss from the roof of her mouth? I know with RI's they can develop a buildup of gunk up there. Perhaps she managed to get it loose and "spit" it out...

Not likely, I saw her pooping it out. Also the skuzz in their mouth has a different consistency to this.

I'd get that checked by a vet ASAP. Is there another one open on weekends you can find that is a reasonable distance away?

Very weird. I think we would all like to know what it is when you find out. Even though your ball is sick, it's kinda cool. Hope she gets better and it doesn't turn out to be any thing serious. Best of luck.

I actually got a call in earlier today, it turns out my vet will actually be in tomorrow so I'm going to be dropping off the sample and hopefully hear back by Monday.

I'll be sure to share on what the heck this turns out to be when I hear back, hopefully we won't be waiting for too long. :v
It is definitely cool, if I wasn't afraid of the possibility of contaminating anything else, I'd probably jar this and add it to my specimen collection. Also I have faith that she'll recover smoothly. I've just started her on Baytril, she's already seeming less lethargic than the beginning of the week and her breathing is clearing up. So fingers crossed!

Do you use live or frozen rats? It could be an indigestible organ or something. Or at least that's what it looks like. I hope your vet can offer good news.

She's taken both live and frozen rat pinks from me, frozen ones more recently. I should be getting some solid answers tomorrow morning though.

Hope the vet brings good news. What's your hotspot at?

Well, just got a call back from the vet and my hunch was right. These are indeed bits and pieces of half digested rat pink.
We're unsure of the exact cause for why she would expel them so early but it turns out on top of the RI, she also has Pin Worms so that's no doubt related. :/
