Regurgitation

So I went to pick up my new 3mth old hognose on Thursday! We had a 2 hour drive back home but in the last 5 mins of the drive, he regurgitated the mouse he had had the day before! How long do I need to leave him before I give him another meal?

No feeding for at least 2 weeks.

I've been dealing with the regurgitation issue too

Here's the thread with a Lot of Good info and advice from the others on this forum

The info worked for me, and my girl is back on track to a regular eating schedule

Hope this helps

You need to beat whoever agreed to give you the hognose. No stress on a snake for several days after feeding means you don't handle it, ship it, or rehome it during that time period.

The breeder totally forgot I was coming to get him, she said she has alot of ppl picking snakes up at the minute. Still not the best tho!

As already noted, breeders fault! Doesn't mean your hoggie is ill, they just don't belong in a car or plane right after eating & before they have digested.

Let her lay low, no stress, no handling & no food for 2 weeks -which is what you should do with a new snake anyway ;) -and when you do feed her, feed on the small
side...do NOT try to "make up for the lost meal"...it's very important that she NOT regurgitate again, & again, no handling or stress until she has successfully digested
3 meals at least, for best results.
