maybe I'm paranoid

[qui_65]

I got my ball python about 5 months ago, I haven't owned one in a couple years. I have everything set up but about three weeks ago my thermostat decided to stop working for a night and the temps got a little low. Long story he threw up his meal from a couple days before. Even though it was probably the temps he was in the vets the next day, she checked everything internal parasites, mites, mouth rot, scale rot etc. She came to the conclusion that it was probably just the temps too.

He's eaten two times since then and everything's been normal since (I also got a new thermostat), I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that my boy isn't going to tip over on me.

Hi,

Sounds like you have already covered all the bases to me.

I'd feel quite reassured by the fact he has had two trouble free feedings since - the thing you really have to worry about is repeated regurging as that puts a lot more strain on the animals system than a single incident.

I would just keep an eye on him in case he shows any signs of an RI but I certainly wouldn't be expecting to see any or worrying about it unduly.
