| I fed cornelius on Wednesday evening and Friday he pooed as he normally does then again on Sunday, then tonight (Tuesday) on looking in,i noticed another poo and really rank smelling mouse tail and what looked like undigested skin. Looked like the rear of the mouse. So I'm unsure whether he pasted it or if it's a regurge ???? Has anyone else ever seen this or possibly have any advice please |

| how long since he ate? I have seen partial digests/regurge and it does smell bad! Check your set up and treat as a regurge, so leave him along for 10 days no handling or feed. |

| If it smelt rank it's regurge. As above, there's a sticky somewhere about it x |

| From just reading the sticky, id say it was a regurge caused by my heat mat losing heat, but it's been replaced now so hopefully the problem is fixed |

Pooing on Friday/Sunday will be nothing to do with eating on Weds... that will be poo from the previous meal ;) Does sound like a partial regurge so I'd say the same as Lupi, check temps and no feeding for 10 days to allow his stomach acids to recover :)
Ahh, your post wasn't there when I started! Yes, I remember seeing your heat mat thread and would agree that's probably the cause. |

Always good to 'know' the reason for a regurge, makes it easier to prevent a reaccurance. Leaving for 10 days is hard when having only one snake - no snakey time, but is important as stated by others to allow stomach acids to recover.
Hope all goes well next time  |

Good that you know the reason. I've had a regurge due to heat issues too, she's had several feeds since (after the 10 days) and is none the worse for it
If in doubt, it is always better to treat it as a regurge anyway, it won't do much harm if it isn't but it does sound like this was. |
