[theartofsolitude]

its really weird.. but the 3/4 is a brown poop, but the 1/4 is mice, the feet and the tail. what happened?

Just a curious question, how big is your snake, and how often do you feed him/her?

Hi,

You could actually see the feet and the tail clearly - not just hair?

How are your temps and was there anything unusual about this feeding or your snakes behaviour since?

If your husbandry is spot on, then take a fecal sample to the vet to check for parasites. I had this happen to me and I have seen it at work and thats usually what causes it and it's an easy fix.

sounds like a problem... Hair is one thing but un-digested flesh is a sign that something in your snakes digestion system is working right.. Might was to get a fecal float and smear done at your vets to rule out the easy treatments like internal parasites..

Are you sure it isn't regurgitation??? that sounds like a more plausible idea.

eww! ok so if that happens chances are there's something wrong? i dont have my bp yet but i'm trying to educate myself on them as much as i can before she comes home.

If you see something recognizably mouse like, it's not poop. It's regurgitation. Your snake threw up. Check your temps, make sure there is a spot in the cage on the floor where the snakes belly is where the temps are in the low 90's. One of the biggest causes for regurgitation are temps that are too low to allow for proper digestion.

like 19 inches, every 5 days.. fed with hopper mice.

i guess your right, i just assumed its poop coz it looks like poop, it just have a feet and tail at the end.
