Ball Python Regurgitated...

[hollowlaughter]

I saw him suck down the tail and take it a good 6-8 inches down, i just didn't see it go into his belly. It was very average size, he's had far larger. There was no disturbance, no other pets and no loud noises. The rat just looks wet but no slime or any new colour on it, still plain white.

If you can't think of anything that would cause the flight response and saw it go fully down, then the issue may prove to be something that requires a vet, i.e. a blockage. If it came back up completely, it's wait a week then offer the next size DOWN food item from what they're on now. If he does it again, then you're going to absolutely need to schedule a vet visit to look into possible internal issues.

Also double-check your humidity and temps. Something may be amiss.
