[LoveBallPython]

Guys I need some advice here, 2 days ago I feeded my ball python with 3 mice. After that i keep her inside the enclosure, didn't disturb her for 2 days. And today out of suddenly she throw out the 3 mice.. So can I know what happen??

How much does the snake weigh? And how big were the mice? It may have been too large a meal.

Another possible reason is temps are too cool and the meal couldn't be properly digested. What are your temps?

Weight I didn't manage to check.. Mice ard 4inc, which I feeded to my other smaller ball python got no issue..

Temps are ard 28c to 30c.. And I keep my two ball python together..

Cohabitating the two snakes could cause regurgitation. Ball pythons are solitary animals and should not be housed together.
Your snakes is stressed and this is almost definitely the reason for the regurge.

DING DING DING! BINGO! You need to house snakes by themselves; they don't shack up in the wild, & when you keep them together this way there is stress involved* not to mention competition for the proper & essential warmth for digestion. Regardless of how big the "warm side" or "hot spot" in the cage is, it's asking for trouble to house them together. Stress comes into play no matter what genders...same sex may not appreciate either other, & opposite genders may result in unwanted breeding, which (contrary to what many think) is seldom a money-maker & more likely a money-loser -let me count the ways... Regardless of their genders...one bothering the other after eating a big meal can result in regurgitation, as can one hogging the warm spot. Not only that, but when one gets sick & needs treatment, you've just doubled your bill at the vet...so much for saving money on enclosures...

So get separate enclosures dialed in...the fact that both were willing to eat tells me it's not likely an illness here, just stress or inadequate warmth. Snakes live solo lives.

By far I see the female ball python is doing great just that she is abit thin, and after she is eatting well previouly with the supplier hand. So when I took over just few days ago, and 2 day ago I feeded 3 mice about 4inc size. And she throw out the, and for the male which very young, feeder 1 4inc mice and so far so good didn't throw out at all..

Just because it worked til now doesn't mean it's a good way to do things.

If you want to properly care for your snakes you will need to get a second enclosure with a second heating system with thermostat

Yes will separate them right away.. And in Singapore daytime temperature is 30c to 34c which very hot weather. And during night time is 27c to 28c..

You cannot rely on what people tell you that are selling snakes, especially if they aren't the breeder & have a good reputation. It's very typical for pet stores to save space & keep snakes together...and the ppl working in pet stores aren't usually that knowledgeable, they are there to SELL you something, so they often tell you what you "want to hear" (ie. the easiest, cheapest way) so they don't kill the sale. Understand? We aren't here to make money off you...we have no reason to make things up...we only want what's best for the animals in question, because they cannot speak for themselves & suffer greatly.

Believe it or not, snakes can die from repeated regurgitations- they lose digestive enzymes & must NOT be fed again for at least 2 weeks after a regurge so they have time to rebuild their digestive enzymes...otherwise they'll regurge again. This causes dehydration, organ failure, shock & death if not corrected. When you do feed a snake again (after waiting a couple weeks after a regurge) it's also best to feed smaller prey than usual, and ONLY ONE item...to make sure the regurge is not repeated.

So if you insist on keeping these snakes together you may end up killing one or both...just so you know....don't say no one explained it. Your name says you
love them...now prove it by housing them correctly...separately.
