hmm i can't see it really clear on the picture but if that pinky is not fully digested and he pooped it out, makes me think he wasn't kept warm enough.
but lets wait what the others have to say, i am no expert

Ok, like i said, it has been in the snake since at least before dec. 3rd, so I think it was backing up the snake. I'm keeping the snake at about 102 hot side basking spot, 85 cool side.

102 hot side? The hot side needs to be 88-92f with the cooler side not being lower than 75f and not higher than 82f I would say?
Are you using a thermostat?
How are you measuring temps?
I'm not sure but it looks like you've got your Heat mats mounted on the side of the wall on Both sides? Invest in a thermostat then you can put your Heat mat underneath the tank on the warm side with the probe in between the tank and the Mat (on the outside)..I wouldn't see the need for the heat mat being used on the cool end?

Whoa that's way too hot. It should be 91 at the hottest on the hot side. what are you regulating the heat mat with? because the bottom of the bin you have him in should be that same temp. Temps higher than that could cause brain damage.

102 is far too hot....88-90 is better, but never more than 95

Ok, I turned it down to about 92-93 at the moment according to my zilla temp gun thing. (I'm positive it is correct) and it's about 80 cold side. according to my didgital temp reader, the ambient temp is about 70 cold side, 85 hot side.
Im using an exo terra thermostat that you have to guess and check with(a dial from low to high)
and the the heat tape is covering a little less than half of the bin. (The aluminum tape stuff keeping it in place is what I think you're seeing on the sides there.)
sorry, I'm new to snakes. I'm so used to high temps for monitor lizards(like my savannah monitor that comes from the same area of Africa that needs to basks at 125+). This snake is throwing me all sorts of curve balls.

Yeah lizard care and snakes are two different things, most lizards also require UVB lighting whereas balls don't require any. Hang in there though you will get him set up correctly
