I think I just saw nag regurge her food.
Have no idea what caused it as she was fed on Monday afternoon and I first held her this morning, so she has had well over 48hrs to digest.
It looks almost completely digested, if I hadn't seen it come out her mouth I would think it was poo.
She seems completely normal though. How long should I wait to feed her again? |

If she can eat two larges she'll manage an XL and yeh every 2 weeks is fine. She'll move when she's ready :-) |

Thanks Deadmansfinger. I was worried there. I'm new to keeping snakes. She is under 5ft long. would an XL mouse be ok? And only every 2 weeks? She doesn't seem to be moving much since it happened. She will move if I coax her but she is just laying at the back of the tank. Is she just recuperating?

Hi all. I've recently acquired a female Mexican black king snake off a friend. He had her for 4 years. I fed her as he instructed 2 large dead mice. Fully thawed. This was sunday lunchtime, the same time he has fed her for years. He told me that her po would be dry, chalky and white and brown. This is what I found Monday afternoon. But the reason I'm posting is because today, Wednesday I found another poo. There was a white lump and a few brown smaller lumps. But they were both soft and wet. Is this normal? I had left her as instructed after feeding for more than 24 hours. Do I have a poorly snake? Please help
Sounds totally normal, you should see some of the craps my Mbks do, would make your eyes water from 100 yards 
I'd say you should feed her one larger food item such as an XL mouse every 2 weeks rather than 2 large mice. |

That's good! Glad that it seems to be a one-time thing  . They do like to worry you don't they |

I fed her Monday morning, strike and coil like she hadn't been fed in years as per usual, but just to be safe I'll leave her alone until the weekend. She's been nosing around all day. She did do a poo a couple of days before her meal too, so there is no blockage. |

Yes! That is exactly what happened. Feeding her today so we'll see how that goes. Not wprried about refusing it, I think she is incapable of not eating food put in front of her :p |

Funnily enough my little snake did something very similar (if not exactly the same) to this two days ago. Not quite sure why as he'd had two days to digest etc and it did look like a poo but i saw it come out of his mouth! And it was also very wet... Strange! He seems perfectly fine in himself though. |

Suprised you didn't actually smell it where you are  |

When will we ever have 'Scratch & Sniff Smell-o-Vision' on the InterWeb?
It would make things so much easier.  |

It didn't smell as bad I think a regurge would have done. And it didn't look as "put together" as the photo above. Yeah, the build up of indigestables makes sense. But having a couple of weeks off wont do her any damage.
Thank for all the help |

This is what one of my snakes regurged. The smell is unmistakable:-

um... did the 'regurge' look slightly furry? it may have been a build up- especially as it was 48 hrs after eating- a regurged mouse would happen sooner, and be unmistakable, partly cos of the stink, but laso for the 'meatiness', and not looking like poo..
what nag may have done is simply ejected a build up of indigestables... fur, claws etc that build up in the gut and then periodically get blurted out, a bit like owls do, as pellets, but not as frequent.
i wouldnt worry too much, but in the 'better safe than sorry' mood, would still treat it as if it was a regurge, and let her tummy readjust back to normal before feeding again |

Yeah, she's not happy about it but I'm not feeding her till next monday, and even then it will be only a fuzz.
