    so today..

    i fed my snake about a week ago, and i was waiting till she got the first mouse fully out of her before i fed her another. So today i looked through the cage once again for feces and i saw a wet pile of white stuff, is this vomit? Should i be concerened, and could she have vomited because the prey was too large?

    Nothing to worry about. Just snake pee.
    Most of the time when they urinate they will pass solid urates.

    Also, don't wait until they defecate to feed again. If you are feeding once a week you are in no danger of over feeding as long as the prey is of appropriate size.

    Yeah you have to keep feeding on a regular schedule, dont worry about if they poo or not before the next feed, some snakes will go weeks without pooing.

    The feces is a solid brown peice... Most of the time they will pass both at the same time but other times will just pass the urates. This is what I have noticed in my snakes...
