Well... Dexter regurgitated again today... He did have (at least what I would imagine was) a stressful feeding experience 2 days ago, though. I have been feeding him live small rats and at feeding time on Tuesday he had a bad strike and wrap on the rat. The rat escaped and Dexter ended up biting, wrapping and death rolling himself and wouldn't let go. Surprisingly, he didn't draw any blood on himself and he didn't seem to be injured when he finally let go... I offered the rat again later on and he successfully ate it without any problems. To add to the stress, his tub had needed switched out prior to feeding, because he had urinated. I didn't want to switch it out while he was in feed mode, so I waited until a couple of hours after he ate. It was a quick and simple as picking him up and placing him into a fresh clean tub. So, I don't know how stressful that could have really been... Anyway, given Dexter's regurgitation history, I didn't know if this whole incident could have been the cause this time or not...

So... Dexter has been eating and holding down food without regurgitating ever since 1/29/18. However, he hasn't defecated since 12/26/17 and that was just a little bit. He had taken a massive dump on 12/09/17, though... I know it's not that unusual for Bloods to go months or sometimes even over a whole year without defecating, but it concerns me a bit. Even though Dexter has been eating every 7 days since I got him past his previous regurgitation issues you can still see his spine more than what I feel looks healthy and he always looks like he has "sausage butt". Temperatures and humidity have been perfect and none of my other Bloods, Sumatrans or Borneos (in the same rack) have had any problems and they all defecate on a fairly regular basis (apx. once per month)...

My senses tell me this snake has a digestive problem and I don't know what to do about it. There wasn't a puddle of liquid around the regurgitated rat this time, so hopefully he didn't lose too much Flora? I'm going to start treating his water with Nutribac again and take him off of food for 6 weeks then once again start him back on very small meals and slowly work him back up to normal size meals again... What do you guys think is wrong with this snake?
