I’ve only kept snakes a few years, but I have 9 of them now, including 6 ball pythons. I have never had one regurgitate until this afternoon. She is a 3 year old vanilla that is deep in shed. Didn’t figure she would eat, but you can never tell with a BP. She struck, wrapped, and ate. As soon as the tail was all the way in, she stopped moving (usually they will keep moving the rat down) and laid there for a couple minutes. Then she started breathing weird and had her mouth gaped open and the rats tail starting to stick back out. She didn’t move for a couple more minutes and was looking rough, I thought I was gonna lose her. I reached in and touched her back, and after a few seconds she gave the rat back so to say. After the rat was back out she seemed perfectly fine and even crawled up out of her tank and onto my arm. I checked her out really well and put her back in. Within 2 minutes of being back in she started her shed, got it off, and is just sitting there as usual. You think it was just because of her being ready to shed? Rat was usual size, maybe even on the small side for what she can take.
