Set him up with the new heater. He hasnt thrown up again which is good. It's gonna be a long weekend.

Make sure the heater is not pointed at the snakes tub. You just want to heat the area and not the tub directly.

Just woke up. He didnt regurge again last night which is good. Heater seems to be working on keeping his ambient temps up which is good. Calling the vet when they open today to pen him in for monday.

. Sorry for the issues. Glad you have a handle on it now. Temps and humidity are very important for the well being of these animals. If there is a National Liquidators outlet store in your area, they sell oil filled heaters for a more reasonable price than most. Hope everything turns out for the better. Good Luck.

So in the meantime until I move and get an oil heater for my new snake room I have a fixer upper solution. He's on a herpstat 2 with one probe regulating his heat pad and the second probe is measuring the ambient temp of his tub on the cold side with a hot heat alarm set to 88 and a cold temp alarm set to 80. In the meantime this is the best I can do.

. That's great! Be careful on where the second probe is placed and that its secured appropriately and won't be at risk of being wet or moved by the snake. :gj:

Both done and done. Its on his cold side but its nowhere he would be moving it even if he slithered past it and not above his water bowl.

I feel your pain, I just had something similar happen, seemingly out of nowhere. Hope your guy pulls through, sending good vibes your way.

Going to just be as careful as I can be. This has me super worried. 2 weeks of solitude should do him some good I hope.

Low ambient temps so long the hot spot is within proper range is not likely the cause of the regurgitation.

Now are you sure both were regurgitation, regurgitation usually occur pretty fast after a feed, not a week later, by the time a week has gone by the prey is digested.

Regurgitation can be due to a few factors

Stress, improper temps not allowing digestion (obviously we know the hot spot was allowing that), bad feeder (if you feed F/T), internal parasites, RI etc.

Was this animal new in your collection?

Now it is very important to wait at least 2 weeks before attempting to feed again and if at that time the animal regurgitates again, a trip to a vet will be mandatory.
