    If he holds that resume feeding as Normal.

    Most important is trying to figure out why he regurged. Was the prey possibly too big? Could a heat spike have happened? Do you feed in the cage or out?
    Those are the most common reasons for regurges.

    I believe a combination of snake waste, spilled water dish and regurged rat accounted for the humidity.

    You'd be amazed at how wet a tub can get from spilled water dish and snake pee.

    There are any number of reasons he could have regurged, the important thing now is to give him plenty of time to rest and recover. Think of how you feel after a bout of stomach flu. You sure don't go out and demolish an extra large supreme pizza and 32 ounce blizzard. You take it easy for a while. You stick to fluids and then just a little bit of easy to digest food until you feel more like yourself.

    Keep a close eye on him, and give him time, and chances are he'll be fine.

    Thanks again for all the comments, he seems to be alright now but I guess we'll see as time goes on. As for the spilled water dish, unless he climbed in it and the water all spilled over the side, that's not likely to have happened as he has something like this:

    http://www.exo-terra.com/download/hi...Water_Dish.jpg

    and it wouldn't be possible for him to knock it over :/ also his water level was normal. But yeah, the aspen was wet from pee, his poo was in his water bowl and the rat was mingled...mangled amongst it all.

    Don't worry we're not stressing him out or anything, have to keep checking on him because I'm paranoid as it gets now. It's killing me that he doesn't live with me as well and I don't know what my other halfs housemate does when neither of us are there...He was playing his music so loud the other day it was making the floors, bed, and cabinet Munchs tub is on (and the tub) vibrate something chronic. Not happy.

    *sigh*

    Sorry to hear that.


    I once slapped a girl in the face with a raw steak. Her reaction made me think it wasn't as bad as you'd expect. Hopefully the same is true for you, now.

    I have, in fact, been slapped in the face with a salmon. It's not pleasant at all, was quite painful and left me feeling icky and sad.

    And smelling like fish.

    It was my 21st birthday and I was living in the Virgin Islands at the time so I celebrated on the beach (bikinis, water to rinse in, not going to ruin your day) and had a BBQ. She was deserving, I swear! She thought it was funnier than I did
