The two times i've fed Salem he's pooped normally, then pooped out half a mouse too and i dont know why!

He's in a plastic box (the one that Dinger used to live in before she moved up so i dont suspect anything is wrong with the tub) and he has got two hides in each end. Temperature is 27 on the warm end

and he is eating small mice - the same as he was before i got him
He eats them no trouble at all... just doesnt like to digest the bum end it seems

Any ideas, troops?

Maybe u shoud try giving him a day or two longer inbetwen each feed so he a little more hungry when u do feed him and see if that makes a diffrence. only an ider thow :}

It did not - well, not that i went up close and sniffed or anything - but it didnt smell like anything at all.
The only reason i thought i wasnt a regurge was that it was in/with a chunk of normal looking poop

sounds more like regurge to me personally............did it smell awful?

I once came across a tail. For a horrible moment I thought it was a regurge, but it was 2/3 days after feeding and when I dissected it it was definitely fur, faeces... and a tail. Never heard of a whole back end, but perhaps it's just bony bits - femurs, claws, tail, and snakey has got most nourishment from rest??

All the best.
