    Uh oh! Feed questions

    Ok, so a little background.

    DEC 16.. Successful feed
    DEC 19.. Poop
    DEC 20.. Urate
    DEC 21.. First successful shed for me, all off in one piece
    DEC 22.. successful feed

    So, i found more urates and liquid pee today, not in his hide. No big deal, he is on paper towels so I spot cleaned and planned to change all the towels 2 days post feed to lessen the chances of regurgitation. But, I noticed he wouldn't use his warm hide,which I found was weird considering he took a meal.

    So, after never having seen him in his warm hide at all today, I investigate further and see a poop. of course I should've checked after he shed. Now I hope I didn't screw up too bad, by not allowing him to properly thermoregulate during digestion?

    I briefly held him and just did a complete clean of his bin. He is back in his warm hide now.

    Additional info:

    Hot spot: 91.5 controlled by HerpStat
    Cool spot: 81F controlled by heat lamp
    Humidity: 55 pct, down from 70 pct during shed

    Mine doesn't always stay in her hot hide right after feeding. I actually just fed her a few hours ago and she has been in the "cool" hide since then. It's typical for her. Not worried in the least.

    I wouldn't worry too much about moving your snake after it has ate, sometimes I have needed to clean etc.. and had to move him after he has ate or even days after and never had a problem.
    Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
