Omg the bumble ate for me!!

The bumble ate for me, i bought a live rat fuzzie, something small and easy and something thats not gonna bite him. Now to see if he keeps it down the old owner said that he would often re-gurge

Congrats on the feeding!

Why did the snake consistently regurge for the previous owner?

i have no idea he just said that was the way he was but he was also chewed on by a mouse

regurging is not a good thing...it's not supposed to happen at all in a healthy animal. As long as you are keeping your husbandry spot on and are feeding appropriately sized meals, the snake should not regurge. If he does regurge, do not feed him for 10-14 days at a minimum to give his good gut bacteria time to replenish itself. Then offer a smaller than normal meal. If the regurging is common in your care and you're doing everything right, a vet trip may be in order. That is not a normal feeding response.

Thanks, he should be on small rats and i got him a (as i consider) rat pup. its small considering his girth. his temps are good and same with humidity. When i got him he had only one hide that was too big and added to small hides taking out the big one and changing his bedding.

What are your temps, specifically?

It -sounds- like your husbandry is fine. if he does continue to regurge...then I highly recommend a vet trip.

90 on the hot 79-80 cool 50% humidity

that sounds find. If he doesn't keep this meal down or regurges for you in the future, please take him to a vet.

I had one snake (not a ball python, but a corn snake) who would regurge every meal with great husbandry. I took her to a vet and she ended up not having some congenital digestive issue (it's been awhile and I can't remember the exact diagnosis). She had to be put down.

I just had him to the vet and they said she seemed healthy but then again that was for the bite wounds that he arrived to me. They were older than i thought and needs twice a day soaks but those are gonna wait for now until after digesting

good plan. Since he has a history...I'd let him digest for a full three days. If the regurging happened after the attacks, I bet that was enough stress to cause the regurge. Just keep us updated.

I will

I remember your previous thread, I hope he keeps it down! And best wishes to the guy!!

Thanks i hope so too

Day Two: Still has the rat down no regurge i checked him since i was in there getting the water out and changing

Good news there! :sweeet:

I know ^.^ i hope this is a good sign

Day three: i think we are good! theres no regurge and it seems i fixed what was wrong with the husbandry
