Help , My ball regurged while cleaning :SS

and your thinking of thermostat which controls heating, a thermometer only reads the heat.

oh yea...duh...blonde moment. Poor OP....he already has trouble with english and then I post...

Ok , So this may be seem disgasting (well actually picturing myself doing it it is...) while drinking my cup of green tea and smoking my last cigarette before going to sleep and reading these posts about people saying it looks like fair from the blured crapy picture i posted and i was 99% sure it was a regurg i said dang it, i'll try to scretch it , and i did. it broke apart and looks like fur to me too so i think it is fair fur or however it spells.

well now im 99% sure its fur or whatever and i got scared for nothing. well i'll feed her again tomorrow its the only way to be sure, if she regurgs i'll shoot myself lol. thanks for all the help!! and sorry for being over alarmed again but as i said i had bad expirience with regurgs and my corn snake never pooped fur.

Definitely poop with some built up fur. Poop doesn't always look the same.

Since the original issue was resolved I have a couple things here that I am worried about. If you could answer these questions for me, I would really appreciate it.

What size tank is your snake in?

How old is your snake?

Are your ball python and corn snake in the same cage?

What kind of hides do you use?

What substrate do you use?

Is there anything directly hooked up to the UTH to control it? You said thermomete, which I'm guessing you mean a thermometer, which reads the temperatures themselves. You need some of those to know what temperatures are in the cage, and you also need a thermostat which is what is hooked up to a UTH to control it. Sometimes, you can also use rheostats.

Feeding a day early would not be an issue at all. Many people feed ball pythons every 5 days or every 7 days. Either is acceptable.

Thanks, and best of luck!

Quite honestly, if it was regurg the easiest way to tell would have been the smell, especially after 5 days. Regurg has a smell like none other and it can be smelled from a long long ways away. Yeah, sometimes the poops are messy or stink or whatever, but the smell of regurg is simply unmistakable.

Glad you got it all sorted out.

LOL that is definately a fur poo!

Your snakes will usually eliminate a normal looking "turd" that looks just like small dog poo. Sometimes you get the white urates and some other times you may get that "hairball" type poo. Thats totally normal and it just shows you that everything is working fine inside your snake

Dont worry about him and feed him like normal. He's fine.

What size tank is your snake in?
its not in a tank , its on a shelf vivarium wich i built myself and no i didnt fill it water to see how much litteres it holds, its enough for her for now. size is gonna be increased since i have to buy a new viv cause im moving out.

How old is your snake?
4/5months

Are your ball python and corn snake in the same cage?
definitly NO

What kind of hides do you use?
i make hides myself using cardboard or pieces of boxes wich i throw away after somedays and make new ones, its fun making new hideouts

What substrate do you use?
was using wood shavings, changed to newspaper yesterday when i cleaned.

my corn snake regurged 4times and it never had smelled as much as you're describing it. i hope it wasn't furballs too that he regurged, but experts on the cornsnake forums never mentioned that to me anyway.

Last March not too long after I got my BP and before I realized how important it was to keep ambient temps up, we had a freak late cold snap here in Houston (it got down to low 30's, IIRC). A day or 2 later, my BP passed a partially digested mouse, caused a prolapse. Looked a lot like your furry turd.
