You deliberately "read into the OP's post"...I'm pretty sure they KNOW they don't want their snake to regurgitate, they just didn't phrase it as well as others might have.
When we forum members have the best interest of our guests and more importantly, the PETS they keep, this is not the way to answer.

It normally does NOT take "weeks" for a snake to digest a meal...your over-statement for drama was not helpful.

The OP never said they were "bugging that snake by measuring his water": so again, trying to diminish the OP because they sought our help? It's entirely possible to
look in the cage (without disturbing the occupant) to see the water level & make assumptions about how much the snake did or didn't drink. A snake may drink so little
that it's not possible to be sure whether or not it's drinking water, but at no time did the OP indicate that they were "bugging that snake"...instead, YOU chose to make
that assumption, again to belittle the poster for asking...then mentioning their "personal anxieties" that YOU assume they have. Not a very welcoming answer, is it?

These are the reasons that I, for one, did not appreciate this post, & it likely didn't help the OP one bit, especially since it derailed the thread because others also took
issue with your post as well.

I would encourage you to REALLY understand the animals, mam. In this case if the snake doesn’t have a BM within a week it will cause the owner even more stress and they ultimately effects the animal.. pleas don’t post hate at me which ultimately gives bad advice.

Take good care. Remember. We are here for the animals not owners feelings. 👍
