Regurgitation Update:

After 2 weeks, I prepared a small mouse (thawed in fridge over night, 30 minutes double zipped locked bag in warm water, dusted w/ Nutribac and finished off w/ hairdryer).

Interestingly enough, I think the sound of the hairdryer peaked my BPs interest and he poked his head out of his hide. I presented the mouse w. hemostats and he struck but missed like he's done so many times in the past. I ended up leaving the mouse in the cage and it was gone in the morning. I've checked several times since and no sign of it, unless it's in his hide which I doubt.

So my question is, should I wait another week and re-introduce a Rat Pup? After speaking w/ someone at PerfectPrey, they thought maybe the regurgitation happened because of the switch from mouse to rat. They also suggested I pick out the smallest Rat Pup in the bag or feed a Rat Fuzzy (which I don't think I can find in any pet stores).

Also wanted to get some clarification on the topic of disturbances, etc.... I know not to handle my BP until 48 hours after feeding but does that mean hands off any changes to the cage (i.e. changing water, small house keeping items). What about general traffic in the area where the enclosure is? We have the BP in our basement where we have young kids that will play. They have no interest in the enclosure / snake but I wasn't sure if the jumping around or noise associated w/ kids can be an issue.

One more thing, should I wait until another feeding to hold and/or remove him for a deep cleaning?
