Re: Whats goin on here???
She regurgitated it. You do not want to attempt to feed her for 2 weeks - she needs to re-build her stomach flora.
In the meantime, the next time she poops, bag it and take it to the vet to be tested for internal parasites.
My very first ball python regurgitated, and he was positive for internal parasites.

It's also possible that your temps aren't right and she wasn't able to digest properly, so she regurgitated it. Make sure your husbandry is right. I totally agree with taking a stool sample to the vet, too.

Re: Whats goin on here???
Sounds like a regurge. You'd have to share a lot more details about what you ARE doing before we can help you figure out what you're doing wrong.
What kind of cage are you using?
What temperatures are you keeping in the cage?
How are you maintaining those temps?
How old is the snake?
How long have you had it?
Has it eaten successfully for you before?
Do you handle it much?
Did you handle it much since the Thursday feeding?
Does the snake have a quiet, secure place to hide while it digests its meal?
...and any other details you think might be pertinent to figuring out what went wrong.

Re: Whats goin on here???
ok so i got an exxo terra 18x18x24. Hot side is 90-94, cool is 80-84. Using the Zilla 1000 t-stat. Snake is about 13-14 inches, just a youngen. Iv had it for 2.5 weeks. Tried to feed her 1 week after i got her and she dident take it. Thursday i tried again and she took it. I handle it not everyday,wen i do its for 10 mins or so and after she ate i didnt handle or bother her, just let her be. She has 2 hides, one in cool side and one in the hot side, two water dishes, cpl branches to climb. humidity is around 50-60.

I find it difficult to believe your getting a 10 to 14 degree temperature gradient in an 18x18 x24 tall tank.
Do you have a probed thermometer to read the temps correctly?
