She regurgitated, when do i try feed again?

[yeroc1982]

2 days after last feed, she regurgitated the mouse. Should i wait 1 week or 3 days or what?

I'm not exactly sure but I think your suppose to wait tell the BPs next feeding. But wait for other replies to see what other people have to say.

Give her a week to two to help her stomach get back in order. And you might want to have a fecal done.

It is usually recommended that you wait two weeks until you attempt to feed your snake again. You really should get a fecal done.

You don't.
More important than trying to shove more food into her face is to determine WHY she regurged.
Fix the problem and you won't have to worry about her puking up her meals anymore.
What is your husbandry like and please don't say it's "fine", healthy snakes whose husbandry requirements are met NEVER regurgitate.

I answered that question to you yesterday. I also emphatically suggested that you get a fecal test done for her - are you planning to do so?

To add to this you MUST wait 2 weeks.

If you offer food too soon you will only cause another regurgitation to happen. Which is extremly hard on the snakes body.

After waiting 2 weeks offer a prey half the size you have been feeding. So if you were feeding small rats, you will offer a rat pup.

If the snake holds down the meal after 2 weeks rest, great now wait 2 more weeks and offer the same sized meal. If that one stays down then wait 7-10 days and offer same meal.

SLOW SLOW SLOW if you push it youll cause the snake to be prone to regurgitation as it ages and its a PITA. Ive dealt with many when dealing with BCC boas and the steps are the same with any snake as i just explained.


If she continues to regurgitate after all the rests between SMALL meals then you need to get some fecal testing done.

Please post a picture of your setup and very detailed info.

It does sound like a parasite problem considering the regurge happened 2 days after feeding, only way to find out is have a fecal done as mentioned above. But I would suggest while you are waiting for your snake to produce a fecal sample, you run down the checklist of other things that may have caused it as well, like husbandry, stress and so on and eliminating them as possible causes.

My husbandry is in order. Temps are good, humidity is good, cleanings are done frequent and always fresh water. Ill take a fecal sample and see what they say.

Define "good".
