Fed Ceasar 2 large pinkies last nite, (which i now realise were too small).
got up this morning, he's pooed, shed, has no lump and is very active.

Has anybody else had this and is it normal?

thanks
Ste.

Sounds like a version of a (misfits) triple. lol.

They digestion of a mouse takes pretty much a week to 10 days in a corn snake. What goes in it not what comes out 2-3 days later, that's the meal that has been in there since last week. They couldn't absorb the nutrients out of raw meat that quickly so to poop it out after a few days would be wasteful.

Corno used to obey the 'curl up in a hide for 2 days after feeding' rule - but now she's out and about straight after a feed, 1st thing next morning, usual times etc! I keep telling her to curl up and let it digest, but she just won't listen.....

Good news on a successful shed (we've not had one of those yet - I'm hoping she doesn't have another bad shed this month!)

Well that sounds more plasuible.. Sorry you phrased it like it was all one event! If he fed a week or so ago then yeah it probably is that.

Yep,sometimes they do a sequel.
SteGore Posted - 20/01/2012 : 14:36:51
Thats what i think now.Even tho he did one 3 three days after last feed.
I dont think it can be anything else really.

Def poo.Not regurge.

I think there is still food in him, just that the lump is reduced to look like his average body structure. Sometimes snakes poop after shedding/ poop then it starts the shed.

He wouldnt have been able to digest that quickly, it is most likely a regurge, again likely due to the fact he was shedding.
