Re: Regurge from baby BP, Now what?

While you are waiting pick up some NutriBAC reptile probiotic, you can find it on Amazon.
In three weeks offer a wet/damp f/t mouse hopper dusted with a bit of the NutriBAC powder. If that stays down offer another in ten days. If that stays down offer another in seven days, and if all goes well you can start moving up to weekly feedings of normal-sized meals.
Since this is a new arrival it absolutely must be quarantined well away from your other snakes in case the regurge was due to a highly contagious illness like crypto rather than from stress or a husbandry issue, especially since it's from a commercial pet store where it was co-habbed per your other posts.
Ugh no feeding for 3 weeks, I feel really bad about that, because she already looked under fed .
NutriBAC ordered, will be here tomorrow
Ok, "hopper" would be what size? Perfect Prey says 7-12g. It was a 9g she didn't keep down, about that size again? or go a little smaller size? I'm sure after 3 weeks she will be really hungry, but don't want to over do it.
I have a "snake room" the other snakes are in, after 60-90 wait and their visit to the snek Doc for a checkup, mite and r.i checks, no one goes in there until then, Bean is the next room over, as far away from the door as possible in my small house.
The 20g she is in now is split, with the other snake that was at the store, the other one is moved into a waiting 10 gal and put in a 3rd bed room just for safety for her too.
Any symptoms of crypto I should look for? I googled that, nasty stuff, I hope that's not what she has.
Thanks For All the guidance and info.
