It's a regurgiation. Your boa is sick in some way. What are your temps? Humidity? How old is the boa? What is it housed in?

No, it's not normal. But we need more info.

Thanks for getting back to me.The temps are around 87-88 for warm side and around 74-75 on cool side in a rubbermaid and he is around 5weeks.I was told that he was eating hopper mice but i fed him a fairly big fuzzie i really think that the fuzzie was to big for him.So now what do i just wait for 10 days and try a smaller fuzzie?Thanks for the help B.J.

Part of an undigested mouse sounds strange to me. If it was poo or regurge, you would know. I would give the snake a few extra days before the next feeding and try a slightly smaller than normal meal.

You didn't happen to snap a pic of the mouse part did you? What part was it?

Hmmm.... very interesting...

I would not assume your snake is sick but a trip to the vet never hurts... except for the bill at the end. :P

sounds like a regurge to me but maybe it was a partially digested mouse...did it smell really bad?

Yeah, that sounds like a regurge to me. My best advise is to monitor the boa's feeding habits and make sure he's not regurging constantly. If he continues to do so, get him to a vet A.S.A.P.
