Regurging a line of fur?

[Slashmaster]

So, one of my babies ate a rat fuzzy last Wednesday (31st). Temps are good, 80 on cold and 91 on hot, she digested a mouse hopper fine the previous Wednesday (24th).

So today I noticed some small amount of urates and poop, and a thin line of fur laying in her tub. The fur made me pause. It was maybe as thick as a phone charger cord and around two inches long. Definitely fur.

I've seen one of my snakes regurge their prey before and it's usually prey-sized or a little smaller. This was just a line of fur. Is that normal, or should I skip feeding her next week to settle her stomach fauna/flora?

If it was a regurge, it would gave come out much sooner after eating, like within a couple days, and it would smell AWFUL!

They do sometimes poop out a small amount of undigested fur.

It only takes a few days to fully digest. A regurge is quite obvious by the smell, texture, and wetness of it.

I have had this happen to one of my boys about a month ago. Thought it was regurge, but was just fur and "crud". His sister had something similar, but much more identifiable as feces. Neither seemed distressed and husbandry was on point. Next feeding day he was chomping at the bit to eat. No issues since.

I almost always find fur in my snakes' feces, it's normal. Fur is difficult to digest, even for these guys, so they tend to end up passing it through their poop. Nothing to worry about!

As was said, if it was a regurg you would have seen it within the first 48 hrs after feeding, and you would have been greeted by an amazingly bad smell.
