    A poo? (Contains pictures)

    Possibly a very silly question. I was changing my BP's water today, and when I peeked under his warm hide to check on him, noticed this. It seems dry, does not seem to smell (his tub smells perfectly normal, like snake), so my guess is poo and not regurg, but does not seem very dog-like either, as has often been described. He was last fed Friday/Saturday- I ended up leaving the mouse for him, and so am not sure when exactly it was eaten other than between 11:40 pm and 11:50 am- and before that he was last fed on March 2nd. Temps have been good, humidity fantastic, and he has not been handled since he came home on the 9th.

    It looks to be urate with bedding stuck to it. There may be some poop involved, I can't really tell, but the bulk appears to be urate material.

    I did wonder about that, but the bulk of it seems to be white fur (my phone takes horrendous pictures). It's not very big, maybe roughly the size of an almond.

    It is. I'm not concerned about that part, since that's bound to happen, but since it seems to be primarily fur I wanted to double check and make sure he hadn't had a baby regurge, simply for my own knowledge and peace of mind.

    Sometimes you may see a bit of fur from the food. It's nothing I ever worry about. It looks like normal poo to me. I have only had one regurgitation over the years and for the most part it still looked like a mouse, kind of. That was a disgusting mess to clean up.

    Thank you! I've heard regurge is terribly smelly and disgusting, but having never actually had a snake complete any sort of bodily function near me, I wanted to be sure. I was expecting his poo to be big and smelly and this was so not any of that.

    Only on a reptile forum would a bunch of people rush to examine pictures of poo.

    And only on a reptile forum would someone post a picture of something they found and inquire as to whether or not it actually WAS poo!
