I fed my 03' corn a small pinkie yesterday at around 3:40pm.
This morning when I checked on her at about 10:15am, I noticed in one of the corners what looks to be white dried stool, and a spot of blood. The spot of blood is about the same diameter
of the stool (small, about 5-7m). Did she digest the food too quickly? Or is this a serious condition? I'm worried about her.

Thanks in advance.

She could have torn the skin around the cloaca when pooping, OR it could be gastro intestinal, which would be bad.

I really dont know what to tell you, im not a corn people. neosporin, polysporin, mineral oil might help, but im not sure, so dont quote me, im at a loss, i hope she gets better

Snakes do not digest their food that quickly, unless your snake regurgitated the meal, it is still in there. The white stuff is uric acid excrement, not feces, and is perfectly normal. Feces are brown. The blood is not normal however.
