Our rescue ball python vomited 5 days after eating. I can say that it is one of the worst smells ever first thing in the morning! But that is the least of my concerns, of course. In all my herp years previous, I have never dealt with vomit from a snake. She came to us from a horrible background and was in the middle of a bad shed and underweight. Despite that, she is outgoing and not shy. She ate f/t with no problem an hour after she arrived at our house. 5 days ago she ate 4 f/t mice (they are small for her). Seemed fine. Gave her three days before handling and even then was just a short time sorted contentedly on a lap. No stress, no ball, no trying to hide.
Not ideal setup yet (was a rescue and didn't have time to plan), but OK. Room temp is around 80. Large bathroom with long shower taken each day to get humidity up, plus an all day waterfall in the turtle tank. Heat lamp with basking spot at 90. Nice hide, good size water dish for soaking. Newspaper substrate (for now). Tank size is appropriate.
Did we feed her too much after being underweight? Should not have handled? And she is hungry again... Can I feed her tomorrow?
You guys are the BEST! Thanks in advance for your help.
PS Baby arriving Tuesday... Will quarantine!!!
