    Something to help rehydrate your animal.

    Mix unflavored, uncolored Peda-lite with water 50:50. Its very gentle, no sugar and helps replace the electrolytes in your snake.

    I was thinking of something like that but was unsure if it would harm her or not.
    Thanks alot I have some prevent a mite on the way should be here tomorrow I hope. that should wipe ot my mite problem I guess that reptile relief stuff works good on the snake itself so i may go buy some of that right now i have that mite off crap. It really is crap here is a list of the ingrediants.

    carrot,corn oil, glycerin(soap), onion powder, orange pulp, soy bean oil, tallow, and vanillin (whatever this stuff is) seems like a joke to me. lol

    Lily, moms red tail boa, we got back in september of last year. We go her in Bellevue Wa,as her previous owner was giving her up and needed her gone because the snake struck at her. We got her emeciated VERY THIN and dehydrated. poor Lily was only getting a small/medium rat every two weeks and she was 4ft long then, not enough food for her ever growing bod.

    We misted her many times a day, and had to keep her humidity up to 80%, she had three HORRIBLE molts in 3 months, and well her first month here she ate over 10large rats and several of Chester's small rats.

    Now she is barelly over 7ft when fully stretched and has gigantic great dane poo.

    Sorry went off topic there, but what im saying is we kept her humidity a bit over the top untill she wasnt so dry and prickly feeling, basically kept it hi like this for 3 weeks, hen brought it down to 75% and now its at 65% on the usual.

    If your snake is having regurgitation and dehidration issues it is time for a vet visit. Maybe it has internal parasites? I really couldnt tell you but it sounds like somthing more then just your snake not drinking enough.
