    Poop or throwup?
    Ive had this dude for about 2 months. Jes about 5 to 6 mnths old. He started out from the pet store eating 2 fuzzy mice. He did that for the first 2 weeks. Since then he has started to only eat 1 a week. His first poop was a giant brown turd that he took along with his first shed about a momth and a half ago. Since then ive found 2 of these "turds?" A few weeks apart. Im just worried hes not getting adequate nutrition.
    Is this a turd or regurgitated mouse?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...73451f774a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8044ca0c14.jpg

    How does it smell. A regurge will be foul...like death. A poo just smells like not that bad. Like poo.

    Agree w/ above post...from here it looks like poo (maybe mostly a hairball?) but not positive. My screen is not "scratch & sniff" :D

    What kind of snake is this?

    If this is a BP fuzzies are way to small. BP start out on hoppers for 2-3 meals then go to adult mice. Makes me say you got him from petsmart. They do love their fuzzies for BP's lol.

    Didnt notice a smell really. Squished it in my fingers and it was full of like a wet hairball. No hard parts.

    Oh ya, that's poop. Switch him to adult mice. At 180 he can handle it. Most mice are about 18-19g anyway.

    Looks like poop to me, but hoppers are too small for your BP. 1 hopper isn't nearly enough for your snake.

    You are underfeeding him if you feed fuzzies or hoppers so yes he is not getting adequate nutrition.

    To identify fecal matter from regurgitation use your sense of smell.

    Thats cool, but unless im reading you chart wrong, it says a hopper is good up to 200g. Hes 180g. But im gonna try the adult mouse this next feed anyway
