Regurg

The bit about feeding in a separate tank is a myth?? Really??! I swear I have heard that EVERYWHERE.

well I can assure you that it's a just myth. I feed all of my snakes in their tubs with out any problems with them trying to bite me when I get them out to handle them. I know a lot of people here can back me up on this also. :)

If all you ever do is open the tank to feed then yea the animal might associate that with feeding and strike out of a feeding response. However hopefully your handling your snake with in reason and whats healthy for it. Feeding in the living tank is fine I do it with all of mine and have never had a problem.

Yes, I handle Gabe and he's perfectly friendly. Ok, I'll do it in the same tank. So do you guys think my returning him to the tank caused the regurg? BTW, I do plan to take him to the vet in the near future...

No.Regurg can be caused by loads of stuff: to large a food item, stress, environmental issues i.e temps and so on, internal parasites. Best bet is a vet trip and take a poop sample, have the vet run a fecal test to check for internal parasites.

Poop sample... That would be the other problem. Still waiting for that majestic event to happen.

Well then take it when it happens. You can do that with out your snake there.
