    Check the Rancos and Johnson controls!

    You can get them wired for 75 bucks, but you can wire them yourself for around 55.

    Did you say you have only had the snake for two weeks and you have fed her twice, if so, maybe thats the problem, when you get a new snake you need to let them settle in, that means no handling and feeding isnt the best idea.

    Re: Is this normal?
    thanks everyone for all the advice. sorry for being such a novice here.
    :(
    so i'll take the heat lamp off and probably wait until next sunday before i try feeding her again.
    and not handle her until then.

    oh. another quick question. before i bought the snake, i was planning on getting a python and i read that you should always take the snake out of its cage and put it in another box to feed it, then return it to the cage when its fed.
    should i do that with a boa too or just feed it in the cage?

    thanks, and sorry, again. :)

    Re: Is this normal?
    What size mice were they compared to the snakes girth? Were they large mice, when they should've been hoppers? Has the snake been stressed out in anyway? Feed it in it's cage and avoid handling the snake until 48hrs after feeding.

    If it regurgitated don't handle it or feed it for 10 days. When you do feed again, make sure it is smaller than normal. If it normally takes a small mouse, give it a hopper, if it's on hoppers, give it a fuzzy.
