    Re: Ball python vommit twice

    I know 5 weeks isn't a long time, but i am worried about the weight loss.
    Ive been keeping track of his weight sinc i got him:
    maj. 22.- 222g
    jul. 7. - 206g (when he got sick)
    jul. 11. - 190g
    aug. 18. 168g

    I will wait 2 weeks before i offer him a small mouse, and hope everything will be fine.

    Thanks for all the help!

    Did you properly seal the Melamine. He can excrete gas's when hot/humid if not properly sealed.

    This is the same ball python that had the RI.................

    When taken together, the vomiting, the weight loss and the RI can point to some fairly serious problems.

    i am breeding the mice at home, the first one he vomited was store bought, the second one was mine.
    first one was rat, second was mouse. both of the were fed live.
    humidity is about 60%
    substrate is newspaper.
    he had RI a few months ago and then he didn't eat for about five weeks, he got pretty under weight. then after few visits to the vet he got shots of antibiotics, and he started eating again, he started looking better, gaining weight, but he is still underweight, skinny, and you can see his spine.
    2 weeks ago he did not want to eat, then after that he fed and then vomited out the rat, the next week i offered a small mouse, but he vomited out that one aswell.
    I do not handle him, only when i take him out to clean the cage.
    You should bump the hot side up to 32c but the cool temps are fine.

    I'd definitely wait at least 14 days before trying another small meal but Skip is right - can see see a picture of him to judge his body condition?
