Is my Parietalis sick? :(

[JodiLeigh]

I just checked on Olive, my new female Parietalis, and found a soggy messy pile of undigested mouse bits :/

Is this regurgitation?

Also her tongue is very pale.

When I got her she was very thin and had a bite wound but she has plumped out now and her wound is healing great.

I have kept her separate from Manny as I was advised and been keeping the heat in her tub at a decent temp

She has pooped (I seen her) and is eating very well

What could be the cause of the regurgitation and the pale tongue?

The pale tongue could simply be that she's shedding it off. Snakey's tongue was a slightly less black and red colour before the shed came off on my finger.

Ar ok, her eyes have just cleared ready to shed.

Just weird because I've never noticed this with Manny although he did get a bit of shed stuck dangling from his tongue for a while ha ha looked silly

I know this is gross... could we see a picture of the "mouse bits"? What does it smell like? You'll know if it's a regurge!

I smeared it in between the newspaper when I was looking at it to see what it was, hopefully you can still make sense of it

Maybe it just wen't down kind of wrong and she needed to regurg it up?

Make sure you keep that snake seperate. Not trying to scare you but it looks like she may have some internal parasites. Did it look waxy when it was piled up? I got some wild caught snakes from florida one time that passed these same looking stools and i lossed a few before i found out what it was. They all had to be treated with metronidazole (flagyl) because they had an amoeba and panacur does not kill amoebas. Not sure this is what is wrong with your snake but i wanted to warn you because it is a possibility and they are highly contagious. It just don't look like a regurge to me. How long have you had the snake? Is it wild caught?

I have had her for twelve days and got her from a pet shop that breed them themselves

I have her in a big clear under bed storage tub with holes in the lid at the moment because it's easy to keep clean.

I just realized that says you have had her for 12 days . You might want to have the vet do a fecal on her while you're there. Because pet shops handle all types of herps so again it could be parasites. Sorry for the confusion i had in my mind that you had her for about 12 months and she was captive bred.

Well then it shouldn't be parasites it just looked alot like what i was going through awhile back. There are lots of factors that can cause them not to digest there food all the way. I would just keep her warm and monitor her and maybe try smaller meals for awhile. Keep us posted on how she is doing.
