Ooof... Snake vomit. Help?

Uugg. I am betting that the vomit was abnormal feces. At least I am hoping it was for the snakes sake.

Your nose will never get this one wrong. Any type of poo will smell like roses compared to a gurge

Do you know the entire history of this snake? I understand she is a rescue and was malnourished. Is it possible that this is a longer term problem, repeated regurg, causing her to fail to thrive. I don't know much about snakes, I'm just learning, but do a lot of rescue of dogs and horses and understand that often what we see at the time of rescue can actually be an unaddressed long term issue...just saying. And although I don't know much, if anything I can read. I have checked my various books and care sheets on BOs and Herps generally and nowhere to I see anything but wait 14 days minimum.

BPs, not BOs...sorry

First off, I would get a fecal analysis ASAP. You say that she it very thin, she could have intestinal parasites. A high load count can cause an obstruction which can lead to regurge. Also, dehydration will precipitate a regurgation. A qualified herp vet should be able tell if she's dehydrated and easily administer SQ fluid therapy.

Good luck, I wish the best for you and your new addition.

The OP has left the community. This thread explains why.
