Snake just regurgitated mouse from friday the 23

I'm new to the site and have been asking questions, a lot. But my snake after being handled for maybe 5 min at the most just regurgitated a meal from last week friday. It looks like its mainly the hair but Im concerned!

just trash it, and wait til next scheduled feeding he should be fine

I'd recommend skipping a week's feeding. Their stomach acids are very strong and when they regurgitate it can be hard on their throat.

If your snake regurges again.. take a stool sample to a reptile vet to be checked for parasites.

dude the smell! ha. So thats okay?

yea it stinks, it was probably from a little rough handling maybe? i dunno but it should be fine as long as he eats next time. But yes shelby is probably righ skip one feeding

Hi,

Just a quick q.

What are the temperatures in his tank/tub? I wouldn't have expected him to have stuff in the stomach to regurge after 5 days? Or am I way off base?

Good question to ask.. it is a bit unusual to regurge after that long.

He spends most of his time in his hid which is around 80/85 due to the heat pad under the tank. I have a heat bulb at the other end that makes the basking area around 90. I thought that after 4 days he would be fine too. I know its bad to handle them right after a meal but I havnt held him till tonight....

Mine has already come out the other end by then.

I'm not an expert or anything, but I thought there should be a hide on the warm side.
