Yeah, mine looks exactly like that, but I use tweezers to set the temp as I don't own a screwdriver :p
Okay, I think when I move her up to a bigger RUB I'll get a new stat.
Thanks :) |

***Edit***. I've been reading up on this and some people state that snakes only produce digestive juices when a prey item hits the stomach so there is no need to wait while others say you need to wait 7 days to let them build up, wish they'd make up their mind 
If anyone can find anything scientific to back up either statement let me know.
Yeah i've read alot of mixed things which isn't very helpful if you're trying to decide what to do. I would always wait a week just in case with my snake i think |

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 |

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 |

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

| 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. |

| 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. |

She has just pooed (definitely poo as the urates were there too), and is also about to go into blue.
So no blockage or intestinal problems, just a one of crazy thing. |

| 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. |
