Hello again, I finally fed my snakes today after 2+ weeks of being off food due to the mite infestation.

I think the mite situation is under control even tho I still catch a glimpse of one crawling around, they definitely are dying off. I have them on white paper towels in their tank.

The male ate a full grown mouse. His first of that size. And because she's still small, I gave the female my the last hopper which had actually grown a bit in two weeks. I had been keeping the mice alive all this time; well fed and watered.

But she regurgitated it at some point after she ate it. She was not disturbed the entire time; during or after eating it. As a rule I don't handle them for at least 2 days after they eat. This is the first time either one of them had done that. She keeps looking shaky to me. My gut tells me she's not well.

I will be going out of town Friday so I think unless I can manage to get out of work sometime tomorrow, I won't be able to take her to the vet until next week. This worries me.

She just doesn't look right.

And before anyone asks, the PAM had nothing to do with it. As paranoid as I was about it, I sprayed the tank in the yard and didn't bring it back indoors for 24 hours. And did not return the snakes to this tank until another 12 hours after that.

This does not bode well with me. I really do not want to lose my first snake so soon after getting it.
