Odd regurge...

Best of luck tomorrow. Hopefully there's not parasites. Curious though, since I'm new to this and haven't seen anything specific, what does healthy snake poo look like? Mine has always had little piles that looked kinda like bird poo. Black and/or white in a lump. Also lucky for me it seems I got a garter who does not defecate in their water so that's a plus

Thanks, I'm hoping that the solid mass he regurged last time was the source of the problem and not parasites.

Yeah, that sounds about normal. Sometimes fish and especially worms can make the poo a bit runny. Worms are healthy food items though, and once you've had her for awhile you'll figure out the difference between normal poo and an actual problem (it just looks different when something's off; it's hard to describe, but it's always been pretty intuitive for me when something is normal versus unhealthy looking).

As for pooping in the water dish, don't worry; she will.

Fecal came back negative for parasites. He also took another worm yesterday and hasn't regurged it yet. Unless something changes, I'm going to operate under the assumption that the thing he vomited the other night was some sort of obstruction. I'm going to go slow working him back up to normal meals, and once he's eating normally again without problems I'll reintroduce his cagemate.

Don't be afraid to extend that alone time out. I think a minimum of 60 days clean and eating would be good.

Good idea. I don't think he has anything contagious at this point, but I don't want to stress him either.
