My corn snake is 7 month old and started eating small mice a couple of weeks ago. fed he/she on sunday and today noticed what looks like the body and tail of mouse, but really squashed as if everything else has been digested and the rest discarded. is this a regurge or is this normal after feeding larger mice. did not notice anything with last feed. he/she seems fine within himself, is moving about as normal and does not seem stressed out. any help would be appreciated. thanks :cheers:

you fed it on sunday and today is what ....wednesday, thats past the usual two/three days or so it takes to digest normally, which wouldn't indicate a regurge, but on the other hand if what you found had any bone structure left undigested then i would say it was a regurge. A way to tell is by giving it a good sniff (urgh!) and then if its smells like poo... (nothing more to say) but if it just smells amazingly ming then its more likely a regurge.

The bad smell is a good way to know if its a regurge.

I learned here that they can regurge up to five days.
Maizey, who has a recent history of regurges, left a weird thing in her cage two days after a meal. A normal poo, and a very flat bunch of hair with kind of a pink slimy coating. I was thinking regurge- it didn't smell like poo- but then where'd the poo come from? I'm taking both items to the vet with her today...It didn't have the horrible regurge smell, though. Some side effect of deworming?
Yours sounds like a poo, though. I can tell without even seeing it when there's been a regurge, by the smell.
