Well from the looks of your last post you don't use heat. Again, please read this caresheet: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ius)-Caresheet

As for the regurgitation, don't attempt a feeding for at least two weeks, and please fix your husbandry.

How big is your snake (weight) and how big were the mice? If it was the snake in your profile picture, it looks a little small to be eating 3 mice in one sitting.

What is your heating method and are you using a thermostat?

I agree with this as well. If it wasn't the incorrect husbandry then it could very well have been a too big of a meal. Either way you definitely do need to wait at least 2 weeks before feeding again, and it needs to be a smaller than normal meal.

Not trying to be mean, but you really should have done some research on ball pythons before you purchased one. read the care sheet Lgray linked you in your other post.
provide a hotspot of 88-93 degrees on one side, do not feed your snake for 2 weeks, try to keep handling to a minimum, until he/she has eaten 3 consecutive times.

no offense but your asking for a sick snake by not providing heat they cant digest correctly without it do some research

I see you live in Malaysia, not sure how you cool/heat your house, but if the temps aren't where they should be (as listed in the caresheet I provided) then it can cause regurgitations. I'm not familiar with the temperature range in Malaysia, but please read over that caresheet to double check about the temps.

Yes, you need to wait 2 weeks before feeding, and only feed one mouse for the next few feedings. It takes a while to repair damage from regurges.

normal room temperature in malaysia is 20 °C (68 °F) or 25 °C (77 °F)..


i read the link that LGray gave me but i really dont know where to get this thermostat or other heating stuff and even in pet store where i buy this bp dont sell thermostat..but i can easily get heating method for lizard such as lamp type and wave type..
can i use those type to my bp??

normal room temperature in malaysia is 20 °C (68 °F) or 25 °C (77 °F)..

As mentioned above, this is too cool, and likely triggered the regurge in combination with the larger than usual meal. Follow LGray's advice.
