Ball python: throw up or poop?

dylpro Jun 14, 2011 09:18 AM

Im new to ball pythons and im somewhat confused. I just fed him 2 days ago and today there was a brown hairy poop looking thing in the cage which makes me think its poop but next to it was a white leathery looking thing. Is this normal or is this throw up? Please help

Yea it was white and chalky and later i found more of what looked like the poop. There was no smell atleast nothing i smelt.

just urates then, a regurge is usually leathery, and there would be no mistaking the smell

After 2 days you would still be able to identify it as a rat. Mostly a very deflated rat like all the insides were sucked out. After about 5 days it becomes a leathery mass of unidentifiable mess.
