Regurge?

My daughter had an asthma attack in the middle of my snake feeding. Obviously, I went to take care of my daughter and left the snake with a locked top on its feeding box in the care of my neice. When I left she was about 1/2 way done with the mouse. While I was gone my dogs tail knocked the feeding box over and my neice said that the snake instantly "pushed" the mouse back out, instead of swallowing it, and it never made it down into her stomach.

My snake seems to be fine now, not acting as if anything is wrong. Im guessing the stress of getting knocked over was the cause. My question is...Is this considered a regurge? Even though it never even made it to the stomach?
 
I don't think that would technically be considering a regurge, though I might wait a few days before feeding again, so to make sure. Yes, I could imagine getting knocked around would be stressful! All in all, I think your snakeling will be just fine, though. :}
 
Not considered a regurge. Nothing to worry about, as long as the snake is okay after the fall. Many times I've uncovered a feeding snake only to discover they weren't done yet and had them spit the mouse back out. The snake is just preparing to escape and unloading the mouse.

Thats exactly what I was thinking, and hoping. And yes she seems fine after the fall.

Should I just wait another full feeding cycle (5 days) to be sure until I try feeding again?

Thanks for your quick replies!!!:bowdown:
