Forum super duper Ultra Chondro!

I just found this in one of my neo tubs. The neos are over a year old, but still fairly small (i'm a slow feeder).

I just fed last night (large pink/small fuzzie size), I don't know whose body this came out of (the snake or the food).

The white blob thing smells terrible. It's mushy, I cut it in half, and it's got like a spongy consistency to it. The taste resembles chicken.

Eek!

Any ideas?

looks like the digestive tract of the feeder to me, stomach and intestine.

Probably got sucked out by a Canuck, they suck alot.

Colorado river boy is right. The white stuff is milk in the stomach.

That was my thought as well. But how did it get separated from the rest of the feeder (aside from the Canuck theory)?

I would agree that it looks like rodent stomach and intestines. I've had snakes coil and push them out of a rodent's belly when the water's been super hot during feeding.

Same here, using really hot water seems to turn dinner in to gut grenades. Had it happen three times in a row before I figured out why it was happening. Skins pretty thin on a pink/fuzzy so it's likely it happened during constriction.

Oh, it reeks when it happens. I've got a pretty strong stomach and I've almost tossed my cookies from the smell.

First off, seeing the title of the post and that it was from Aaron, I was almost afraid to open it. Then I thought about it, and I think Aaron has been good for a couple of these, "what is this" posts. Didn't you have a really weird kind of parasite or something before you had a pic of? Most people knew what it was, I sure didn't.

First off, I hate all of you. Canucks RULE!

Second, it was 100% the stomach of a pink. I just dissected one, and I was going to post pictures, but I figured, what the hell, you've already seen it.

Brian, it was a Pentastomid. And thats why I posted this, because it's not the first time I've seen something strange in a snake tub.

I was suprised at the stomach tho, ... I guess I thought it wouldn't be as "solid" and would be more like stomach lining, but it's kinda like a big glob.

Thanks to everyone who posted!

Aaron, are you a Canuck? Well this just sucks, because all this time I was talking well of you, and now I have to change my outlook on you? Man,

I just don't know if I can like you anymore?

I guess I can at least try:)

I wouldn't have guessed it to be white, but since it wasn't a weaned mouse, it makes sense that the milk would do that.

Tazman, he put it in the microwave a little before he tasted it, so that's not so bad. And it disinfects.
