I, also, totally agree with the above suggestions. Regurging is extremely hard on any snake because of their very strong stomach acids. You will need to give your baby a couple of weeks to recover from this event. As specified, trying to feed too soon again will only cause another regurge and you'll lock yourself into a vicious loop. Believe it or not, these guys can go a loooooong time without eating, so you won't be hurting your boa at all to give it a little break.
As to the "small and skinny" issue, BRBs are slender, very long snakes. In fact, they are also called the the Slender Boa. Overfeeding your Rainbow will cause it to become overweight and unhealthy. These guys grow VERY slowly. I've had Marius for over 2 and a half years now and he is only now starting to put on some decent size.
Best of luck with your Rainbow! I hope it makes a full recovery from the regurge and that you won't have any more troubles.![]()
