Yeah he puked on the 2nd day I got him. At times i felt like he was too cold, because he wasnt warm to the touch. I did buy a UTH but it is for a 5 gallon tank and i have a 20 gallon. I did this to ensure that i wouldnt overheat him. I have boiled his hides, baked and soaked the bark and half log and cleaned the tank inside out. I do plan on getting a new bp in the next week or so. I just am hoping that the mouse I fed him didnt have something wrong with it to cause his death because I now live in a small town and there is only 1 pet store. So either I buy a couple mice at a time (when i go home from college) and bring them with me back to the town i live in or im stuck with a possible bad mouse breeder?Originally Posted by dr del
Hi,
The fact he regurged his first meal with you 8 days earlier (only two days after you got him? ) makes me think there was something wrong with him when you got him to be honest.
Temperature problems could have caused a regurge and too high temps can also cause the symptoms you describe - but as long as you were measuring them with a digital thermometer inside his hides then the temps you quoted wouldn't have caused either.
But just in case I would completely clean everything before reusing with another snake.
I'm sorry you had such a rough start to the hobby.
