    Re: Ball Python Regurgitated...

    I am quite worried but i am hoping it is just because i filled his viv with new, damp coco coir today and it usually takes a day for humidity to settle and perhaps also a while for the temps of his basking spot to come through.
    I had him out earlier in the day when i was changing the coco and he seemed perfectly fine. I've not taken him out or examined him since he regurged, but he seems fine. When i took the rat out he still had a feeding response so i had to push him away with a cushion, otherwise i know he'd have went for me my the way he was behaving.

    What do you think? Should i be worried or just try again in a few days when the humidity has settled?
    The rat btw, after regurgitation, looked just like new and i didn't get too close, but it didn't smell bad either.
    From what I've been reading you're supposed to wait at least a week after regurgitation to feed again (I am in no way an expert nor claiming to know this 100% I'm just basing it off of what ive read)
