    It also wouldn't hurt to pick up some of this:

    Petco carries it. Get the powdered version and sprinkle some on the prey item right before you feed it.

    I can't tell you it works - but I can tell you that I've never had an issue with a secondary regurge while using it.
    See you did it too!

    Vomit, regurge, we all tend to use them interchangeably. Generally when your definition of a regurge happens, I call it "spitting it out".

    Either way I agree with your advice as to what to do after the regurge (or vomit).

    Not really.

    I've had off and on problems with size-related regurges in growing colubrids. the line when to up the size sometimes gets crossed.........

    I use the Benebac as a precaution because there is no set time between when a regurge technically becomes a vomit - it varies by each species and their metabolisms.

    Sounds good. Thank you so much for your help I really appreciate you taking time to reply.

    I'll wait two weeks and try a slightly smaller prey item, and consider the Benebac.

    I take it there is little risk in administering the benebac as a precaution, even if it's not necessary? Maybe I'll go to Petco like you said and see what the bottle says

    Thanks again for all the help.

    Think of it as a probiotic for snakes. You can even add it to his water if so inclined.
