It also wouldn't hurt to pick up some of this:

Petco carries it. Get the powdered version and sprinkle some on the prey item right before you feed it.

I can't tell you it works - but I can tell you that I've never had an issue with a secondary regurge while using it.

See you did it too!

Vomit, regurge, we all tend to use them interchangeably. Generally when your definition of a regurge happens, I call it "spitting it out".

Either way I agree with your advice as to what to do after the regurge (or vomit).

Not really.

I've had off and on problems with size-related regurges in growing colubrids. the line when to up the size sometimes gets crossed.........

I use the Benebac as a precaution because there is no set time between when a regurge technically becomes a vomit - it varies by each species and their metabolisms.

Sounds good. Thank you so much for your help :) I really appreciate you taking time to reply.

I'll wait two weeks and try a slightly smaller prey item, and consider the Benebac.

I take it there is little risk in administering the benebac as a precaution, even if it's not necessary? Maybe I'll go to Petco like you said and see what the bottle says :)

Thanks again for all the help.

Think of it as a probiotic for snakes. You can even add it to his water if so inclined.
