Regurge from too much water?

Went into the snake room about 20 minutes ago. Ashera was out cruising around and took a *huge* drink of water. Left the room and then the kids just came out to tell me she puked.

She also took a huge poo. The regurge was witnessed otherwise I wouldn't have believed it was a regurge. *Extremely* well digested, no structural integrety at all. She ate a 5g mouse on Sunday and previous feeding was last Saturday. All temps etc are good.

Bleh!! She's been doing so good too.
 
Are you sure it is a regurge? Did the kids actually see it come out of the snakes mouth? A mouse eaten on Sunday would still look like a mouse if regurged yesterday. I have never had a snake regurge and poop at the same time. I'm am suspicious that you have just poop.
 
Snake had her mouth open. Leah swears that it came out of her mouth. But it was in the poo pile. I poked it and pulled it apart and let me just say :puke: it didn't look mouse-like at all. Possibly a bit of spine, but that's it. Rest was all mushy non-distinct, just vaguely mouse shaped and not really completely poo. It also didn't really smell like a regurge. It was stinky but I've had regurges before and it will knock you over.

If it wasn't for Leah swearing it came out of her mouth I would say that she took a huge drink, poo'd and out came Sunday's mouse as well. She normally poops about 3-4 days after eating, so this is the level of digestion I would expect after 48+ hours.

Just seems really weird. I'll question her more closely tonight if they're still up when I finally get home from work. Meanwhile I'll just plan on giving her a smaller pink and dusting it with Nutrabac this weekend.

Thanks :)
