Hi
I have a snow corn whos 3 months, its on fuzzys 1 every 4 days and feeds really well, iv noticed that twice now when iv held him he has been sick as soon as i put him back in his tank. i wait 3 days after a fed to hold him and im wondering if it could be poo? its lumpy and looks like mouse organs so is it sick??? this is my 1st snake so im confused and worried! |

every 5 days is fine, so you can feed, not handle for 2 days, then have 3 days playtime 
and as lotabob said, you'd know from the smell if it was regurge 
the physical stimulation of being handled is prolly enough to get him to poo, and feeding every 4 days there'll be a fair bit to come out!  |

It is more likely to be poo, a lot will poo after been handled, something to do with the heat of your hands and the motion of climbing over fingers. Just keep an eye on him after you've held him and watch out for the tell tale tail lift (try saying that when your drunk) of them having a poo. |

The only thing I can say is smell it. If its regurge it will smell putrid, seriously bad. poo just smells a bit.
Poo is usually a pile of black/brown stuff with white stuff, regurge looks a lot like a chewed up piece of fudge.
And again 5 days is about as close as you want to get with feeds but every 7 days is fine. |

It sounds more likely to be poo and I am assuming that you have not actually seen the snake regurgitate. But I think I am right in saying that 1 fuzzy every 4 days is a little to much. Most feed once every 5-7 days. |
