    snake poop

    ok, while i was passing through the corn snake enclosure at work yesterday, i noticed one of them finally shed and he also pooped. The only weird thing was the fuzzie he ate sunday was still pretty much in tact (wasn't a pleasant site). It looked gooey, the top half was mostly gone but the bottom half was clearly visible.
    What i'm really trying to get at is...is this normal? He (and i keep saying he though i don't know its actual sex) hasn't done this before. Would it be because it JUST ate and by coincidence was getting rid of waste? Kinda let it slip out by accident? Or is there something to be concerned about?

    It sounds more like a regurgitation than a defecation. It might be something to be concerned about. Skip his next meal and then offer him a fresh one.

    Yeah I will agree that it is most likely a regurgitation. Sounds like it started to digest then the tummy got a little too upset.

    ok, that makes more sense. But there was also brown poop extending around it. But his moving around to shed makes sense that he would regurgitate.
    THANK YOU!
