    Re: Regurgitation

    Guys, not hardly. Regurgitation is very difficult on a snake's digestive system. The acid causes a good bit of damage and they need time to heal before you feed them again.

    They need at least 2 weeks rest time after a regurge. This is important or it can set up a series of regurges which will make the snake very sick or can cause death.

    After the 2 weeks rest, feed a smaller than normal prey item. Do not handle for at least 72 hours, or just wait until the snake has consecutively fed 3-4 times before even attempting handling. This is to minimize stress on the snake and minimize the risk of regurging again.
