I have a little Rosy Boa that was rescued about a month ago. She had had no care for close to 6 months, and was left in a building with no climate control this summer here in Texas. Fed only once is a rare blue moon in that time frame. She seemed to be doing well here. She is in a 20 gallon long tank, with newspaper for bedding. Her tank temps are normally between 85 - 90 on the warm side and she cooler on the other end by about 10 degrees. She had been eating well for me, about a mouse a week and keep them down. Well this week I had fed her on monday a mouse, and than when I was feeding my ball pythons the following day I forgot I fed her the day before and threw in another mouse. By the time I remembered she was already wolfing the mouse down. She looked bloated today and than this afternoon she reguritated up one full mouse and a half of the other. I feel horrible that I accidently over fed her. I took and put her in a tub for just long enough to clean her tank out, it was nasty, and than put her right back in it. When I came into the room tonight to check on things she was on the cool end of the tank and had the last 1/4 of her body in her water bowl. She had her head turned slightly to the side and than slowly went back to her hide. Do you think she will be ok? I am normally a lot better about feeding than this, but this 1 week has been so much more crazy than normal that I messed up. Is there anything I need to watch for as a warning that something is really wrong with her. I don't mind taking her to a vet if there is a need, but the closes decent vet that does reptiles is over an hour away, and I think they only do normal business hours. I don't think our emergency vet, that is about 45 mins away, does reptiles. Any warning signs or other information would be much apprecaited. Thanks.
