Hi,

This may be a bit of a disgusting topic but could anyone please shed some light on what regruge will look like just so I know what to look out for.

I only ask because, I feed Casper the other week 5 days after her previous shed and I notice about an hour and half later a small brown mass in her viv. It looked lighter than her normal poo with no yellow muss with it. It really smelt bad, like poo and was too small for it to be regruge given the time between feeding and finding it. Any ideas on what it could of been?

Any ant tip on what to look out for with regruge would be really appreciated!

Thanks, and sorry for the nasty topic!

The feed in question was last week (thursday night) since then I have feed her on wednesday this week. The brown mess appeared on tuesday this week as well after handeling her.

She is currently shedding if that is any help!

Ha Ha!
I hope you are right!

I think it was poo both times as it really smelt! Might be like snake diarrhea? She might have gotten a little worked up as she is still young (7-8 months old) and gotten scared. Although she is handled every day for about 10-15 mins except for 72 hours after feeding!

that's what I was thinking a33272.
I'm sure that mine sometimes hold it in until they want to sometimes as well.

Big Thanks to both of you!
That has reallt put my mind at rest.

I'm still fairly new to snake keeping so still get a little worried when new things happen!

Thanks Again!
