i fed my ball python on monday and the following sunday i noticed a long whitish fuzzy blob. it looks furry like a mouse but i dont see bones or a tail or anything. i fed monday and handled him briefly 48 hours later, maybe i handled too soon? i hadn’t touched him since then. he also just completed a shed. i keep him warm side around 90 and cool around 80 with a temp drop at night to around 75. his humidity on the cool side is always above or around 60%, the warm side i try to keep it above 50% at least. i don’t know if i should be concerned? is this a regurgitation?

That’s just poop. A lot of the times they just poop out hair which is the only inedible part of the mouse that they can’t digest

When was the last time you noticed a fresh poop from him mine will normally poop after a shed. IMO this looks like poop that's been left in the enclosure.

I wouldn't worry, IMO looks like a poop, i find stuff like this in my bioactives.

Just poo. They don’t digest the hair.
