I think I need help (Regurgitation)

[Caali]

Sounds like he vomited. And it does also sound like it could be bad feeders. I would still treat it like a full regurge, especially since you said there was blood present? Was it alot?

Either way, wait 2 weeks before offering again. He'll be perfectly fine. 30 grams of weight loss is nothing for a bp. He could probably poop almost as much!

Thanks for the help!
It wasn't a lot of blood and I'm pretty sure it was the rat's. Ok, I'll make him wait for the next week for two weeks. Just to make sure that he stays healthy.

Yeah, that's not a regurge. A regurge woukd be partially digested and even with hay fever you'd smell it.

Based on the info at hand. I would say the feeders are bad. And honestly, I'd be reluctant to buy from that source again. Unless of course they were stored improperly once you got them?

Do you have another prey source??

I'd also wait 2 weeks to offer again. Your snake is at a weight that can easily handle a few weeks without...

BUT...you mentioned the snake is already losing weight??? Why is that???

Thank you for the information.
I researching other places to buy feeders from. I'm sure there are some.
Well, maybe one of my roommates might have left the freezer open and didn't tell me? I don't have another explanation
The weight loss is probably not that bad. The first time I weighed him was three days after a big meal (he hadn't pooped in a while as well) and then the second time was after he had a big poop. I timed it very badly. That's probably the reason for the weight loss.

Others have touched base on the regurging so I want to touch base on your thawing process and feeder source.

When you thaw out, the water you said is 140, is that boiled water, or is that just your sink water turned on hot? If it's boiled, I wouldn't do that, if it's regular sink water, I would still try to back off a bit. That's just my personal opinion though.

Where do you get your feeders from? Honestly if you have stuff falling apart that sounds like bad feeders. I would highly suggest you find another source to get your feeders from and I'll gladly help you find a better place which will save you money.

I have a friend who lives in Germany so I can ask her where she gets her stuff from.

Thanks for the tipp.
I'll definitely will not use water as hot as that anymore.
To the feeding source: I have a "Fressnapf" near my home. They have different supplier brands and feeder sizes which gives me lots of room to choose from. Personally I really love the brand called Petmad but it's hard to get the feeders from them since they're not always available.
If it's okay, I'd still like to take you up upon that offer with your friend in Germany. My friends don't really like or care about snakes which is why no one around me has an idea where to buy from. I'd love to hear from someone else where they get their feeders from.
