Females usually in 41 or bigger. He was and is at like 140~150 g so thought 6 qt could work for him. But I am out to buy 15 qt.

hahaha, interesting! i just never knew there was one out there. it sounds about right, if not a tad slow on when to move up in size. whatever works for you and the snake is what will work best.

back to the regurge: i've only dealt with one and i knew the exact cause and had a simple solution. i hope some others can offer more experienced advice.

I wonder if the heat failed for a short time?

Regardless, I would double check your temps.
Give the snake about 2 weeks with no food, to let them recover.
For the next feeding or two, feed something smaller than you normally would (I usually go 1/2 the size of the 'normal' feeder size).
You may want to buy some Nutribac to help replenish gut bacteria. It's worked for me the times I've had to deal with regurge.
The time I had one regurge 5 days after feeding it was because my heat source had failed (went off).

If after waiting the 2 weeks and feeding something smaller, the regurge happens again and you are positive your temps were on point, deff. go to the vet.

Wishing you the best for a smooth recovery!

Hwo big of food are you feeding it? I was told this sometimes can happen if the snake is not used to a big meal. Its not a full on regurgitation as in undigested food and smells like death, its just more or less a hair ball that doesnt really smell like anything. If that is what it is, then wait a couple weeks and feed smaller prey until the snake is used to the size.

Happens more in BCC than is BPs but i would assume the same can be applied.

Yea, I am on break so I was home every day after his last meal. I set alaram on my herpstat so there shouldn’t have been a problem. I will probably wait and try smaller meal,

I did feed him little bigger than he fed before but it wasn’t that noticeable. Seemed about the right size.

Can't see how long there was between eating and it coming back up BUT the mouse came out head first suggesting it was swallowed TAIL first , found that he the reason ? It's not going to slide down very smoothly with the back legs sticking out all the way down ...

Just a thought

Every 4 days for that little snake is to much i say.. I told you a month ago when you got it once a week or 10-14 days was good. I haven't had these problems thankfully except once 10 years ago and he was fine after that so i cant give any advice.

5 day regurg should raise concern. Need to check to make sure there is not organ failure, parasites, virus, etc causing this. This might be best check by a vet.

If all is well aside form just a regurgitation then you need to wait 2 weeks minimum, feed one smaller prey, wait two weeks again, feed normal size and use a product like nutribac to restore normal gut flow.
