Hi everybody,
Sorry that this is so long, I just want to make it as detailed as possible:
About a month ago, our snake, who was on hoppers at the time, regurged. I am pretty sure it was because we held her too soon after eating, it was 48 hours but it might have been too big since it was her first hopper. We waited 11 days before we fed her 2 very small pinkies (about 1 gram each). A week later, there were no signs of poo but we fed her 2 more tiny pinkies and I just assumed that the poo was hiding under the substrate. After about a week I cleaned out her cage completely and found no poo at all. I am worried that she has undigested pinkies hanging out in her (although her body doesn't really look like it has food in it), so I don't know if I should feed her yet. Is it possible that she is just so hungry that her body is fully absorbing the entire pinkie and that is why she hasn't gone yet? I sort of don't think that she is having problems digesting because she has been very active lately, and I would guess that would make her sluggish, which she isn't at all. Any ideas of what could be wrong? Sorry again for making you read so much... Thanks for the help!
