Well, I've ruled out every other reason.Originally Posted by Eric Alan
Of course you can ask questions!
Did he tell you the reason for the regurgitation? If not, then you cannot be certain of the reason and it's best to take every precaution you can to stop it from happening again. Personally, I doubt that the 2 grams made any difference at all.
Snakes should not regurgitate their food. If they do, something isn't right and it's your job to figure out what - especially with a hatchling that's already fragile and prone to stress enough as it is. Again, I wouldn't handle him until after he's proven he can eat again (in a couple of weeks after his system recovers) without this happening again.
Temps: perfect.
Humidity: perfect.
Stress: I don't see any reason why he would be.
Handled too soon: nope, I waited 50 hours.
Illness: it's always a possibility.
Prey size: it was bigger than usual. It was really fat and weirdly shaped too.
The difference wasn't 2 grams, it was 7 grams bigger than the usual. Why would handling make it happen again?
