this may be a silly question...

ok if any of you remember, i made a post about increasing the SIZE of the food i give to my snake. well, he ate it fine but today when i got home i noticed a HUGE amount of what looks like poop. my question is how do i KNOW that is it poop? will it be a certain color (it's dark brown)? and how do i know that it is not PUKE (vomit)? im worried that the food is too big so he regurgitated it. should i be worried? would he have not eaten it if it were too big? he swallowed it when he ate it in only a few minutes.

sorry for asking such silly questions but i dont think that googling will help me.

thanks in advance.

erm, i could snap a picture if it will help... heh

Sounds like poop to me. I had a snake regurge a few times and it was always pinkish/red and smelled really, really bad. Also, it still kind of resembled a mouse. Poop is usually brown or gray in a clear or whitish fluid.

you know exactly about it still sort of looking like a mouse. Kind of like reverse aging maybe. haha

if its a gurge, you will know it. It stinks like something awful. And a lot of times it will vaguely look like a mouse in a vomity sort of way, but you will know it when you see it.
