I've had my Male (eddie) since his 2nd shed, he's now 7 years old. I feed him 'when he's hungry', this is when he is more active than usual and takes up position on one of his branches, rather than coiled round his lamp or under his log hide. Usually every 10-14 days or so. I feed either a largeish rat or two chicks. I've never had this problem before:

He was fed earlier this time, 24/12/11, as I was going away for christmas. when I returned,28/12/11, the tank was cooler than normal...mistake with timer switch getting mixed with tree lights (my bad). I took him out and held him a while to warm him a bit. He stayed coiled all this time but I thought nothing of it.

The following morning there was a horrible stench coming from the viv, the large rat had been regurgitated, only the skin had been removed.

I have disinfected the viv and water bowl, had already corrected the Temp, and treated him to some new decor as a get well and christmas pressent.

I assume the rat was not digested properly due to the temp drop and that handling him with a full belly triggered the regurgitation.

Are my assumptions correct? Is there anything else I should do? Thanks in advance.
