i know this is gona sound abit strange but i think she'll regurged her last meal, she fed on sunday, and ive only just noticed what i think is a partially digested fluff? if it wasnt for the fact there looks to be a tiny tail at the end it does look abit like poo?
ive just tried to handle her, she didnt seem happy, didnt want me near her, when i did actually get a hold of her she struck me, wasnt a bite, more a head butt so ive just left her to it.

should i just leave her until weekend till her next feed?
im guessing snakes do sometimes regurge and maybe its abit early to worry but i cant help it!!!!

any advice?!?!?

did it smell. that is the best way to tell a regurge because it is a stomach churning smell

have you any idea when it regurged or pood, as I would be surprised if it has regurged today is most likely to have come out the other end.

As above, you dont happen accross regurge, you know its there. It stinks to high hell. A picture if you still have it would be handy but if its had a tail or feet or skin of any sort its regurge.

The above link is brilliant, I have dealt with a regurge using this link and it was perfect.

Are you sure its not a fur poop, Spot does poop out a plait of fur a few days after the main poop.

if in doubt treat it as a regurge and give 10-14 days for the gut flora to rebalance before feeding again

its easy to tell the difference between poo and regurge.
Poo is generally brown and a littly stinky, regurge usually has parts of the body intact, is the colour of the food and peels wallpaper.
If its regurge, leave 14 days before feeding again.

im guessing that not feeding her for that long wont harm her in any way then?
would i still be ok to handle her or is she more than likely going to be grumpier than normal cos she hungry??

If you check the regurge stickie all the info you need is in there.

Unfortunately its no handling for the next few weeks, time to take up knitting or build a ship in a bottle, something to take your mind off snakes.
