how long after eating should i worry about my corn regurgitating? and what would it look like if he regurgitated 24 hours after feeding...i guess im wondering if what im seeing is poop or regurg.. i fed him his first fuzzy yesterday..took it fine the lump was larger than usual but thats probably to be expected..any info is appreciated thanks

It looks like a mouse. Very slimy. And smells horribly! After 24 hours it should still be pretty solid.

Assuming the mouse is eaten normally, the tail is one of the LAST things to get digested. If you see something that looks like a tail and maybe two hind legs, it is likely a regurg. regurg doesn't contain the black undigested matter and white, pasty/chalky urates, either. Snakes can regurg from immediately after swallowing a meal until ANY time that it leaves the stomach. Depe4nding on the temps, that can be OVER a week. If your temps are OK, you usually shouldn't have a regurg in over 5 days or so.

With that said, the timing of the regurg depends on WHY the snake regurged. If it is stress, it can be ANYTIME there is even a SMALL bump. Cool temp spike? Even a day or two after the bump disappears. Disease? it depends on the disease! Et alias.

ok just wanted to update.. i woke up this morning and looked in the cage and it had turned black and white like it normally looks. i must have seen it right when he squeezed it out lol..
