    Hello, it seems like my BP has been vomiting? It's not regurgitation I don't think because it looks digested. When I found out he has been, I waited a week to feed him again and then made sure his temps were good and everything. He goes to each side, warm and cool whenever he needs and after a meal he will chill in the warm side in his hide. He is 260 grams, and I feed him rat fuzzys. I wait at least 2 days after he eats to handle him just to make sure he has enough time to digest. I'm not sure if this is anything but he's about 8 or 9 months old.
    (I say about because the reptile place I got him from told me he was 3-4 months old. I got him in February this year.)
    (Temp on warm side is 80-87 and humidity is 40-50%, I try to keep it up higher but it's difficult. I have plexiglass covering 3/4 of the screen top as well.)

    I should note, the "vomit" looks like a brownish black clump. I can take a picture possibly, but there is bedding stuck to it that maybe dried on it when he vomited it up.
    I'm not convinced that this is "vomit" and a picture might not help much...what does it SMELL like???

    IF it's vomit and it's brownish-black, your snake likely has internal bleeding...you need a vet's help a.s.a.p.!

    If it's loose (unformed) stool, that is fairly normal for a snake that's just eating rat fuzzies.

    Does it smell like feces? Or does it smell putrid (& makes YOU want to hurl) like vomit? My computer is not "scratch & sniff", so even a photo won't help much...we need more input.

    Did you see or hear him vomit? It sounds like you're just assuming...and it's very rare for a snake to vomit.
