Is my BP sick?

[TCampanaro]

I come home from work and check on my two BPs as usual..
Sebastion, my male BP who I knew was in shed, had shed beautifully for the first time.


BUT, there is also a HUGE pile of... poo? That isn't digested all the way. You can see the body of the pinkie..not so well in this picture though.
I've never seen this before, especially it looking like human poo.

Is this normal?
Or is he sick?

If you see fur in the snakes stool, it's completely normal. However if the majority of the mouse isn't digested, then something may be wrong. Your bp might be dehydrated if he didn't fully digest the mouse. This may have been a one time thing, so pay close attention to your snake's next stool. If you're really concerned, get some gloves and see if there is blood or bones in the next stool. Best of luck to you, I hope I was a little helpful

if you can see the body of the prey, it's a regurge, not poop. it doesn't necessarily mean the snake is sick unless he makes a habit of it. regurge can happen when a snake gets stressed or temps are too cool or the food is too large. don't try to feed again for at least 7-10 days. Make sure to provide plenty of fresh water, the snake will need to re hydrate after a regurge episode.

I highly doubt that's a regurge, honestly. You would KNOW it was a regurge because it would stink to high heaven. You would be gagging. That is poop, I couldn't tell you why it's not fully digested, but I think I can pretty confidently tell you it's not a regurge. There is no mistaking it for poop, lol. Plus, I see a urate.

Snake poop can look very much like human poop, poop is poop for the most part.

Up the food size, and see how the next poop is.
