Is this a regurge?

Hmm, I'd be leaning towards regurge with that! Do you know what the snake was fed? Mouse or rat and what size food item? Hmm, that tail looking thing does look as if it's got scales, but don't rats have a more scaley type tail, I can't remember. Or is the snake by any chance a kingsnake? If so that might explain another snakes tail in the item found, if that's what it is.

Definitely go with the regurge protocol, it can't hurt and if the snake was fed and then shipped/moved before it digested properly then its digestion could be a little out of whack anyway and the regurge protocol will help get it back on track :)
 
is there anyway for a lizard to get in cage. I thougt maybe he got in and became food, but I could be wrong.

Nope, this is an 7 month old Amel corn. I've only had the snake for a few days now and haven't fed it myself so I can't say what size of prey he's been eating. I was informed that they had eaten a week before the moving date but after he arrived he did have a bump in his lower abdomen. I'll definitely follow regurge protocol.

Hmm, interesting thought and that's entirely possible if there is no information on what the snake was being fed :)

Then it does sound like the little guy regurgitated whatever food was left in his stomach, probably due to the stress of moving and maybe unstable temps along the way. So following the regurgitation treatment will be good for him/her :)

Good luck and keep us posted, we like to know how things turn out! :)
 
I read all the post and seen the pictures and thought it was interesting. In the first poop/regurg picture I seen a long braid line thing around one end and thought to myself, "Is that a snake tail?" but then after the picture where the poop/regurg was put in water and what was left spread out. I could see for sure the long tail thing and what looks like a foot and a torso. I think the snake must have eaten a lizard at some point.
