    Re: Regurgitation or Hairball?

Yes, I'd wait longer, before feeding smaller prey.

    What are his temps. (highest & lowest) in his enclosure? Check with an accurate device to make sure he has adequate warmth to digest- this should not have been regurgitated, it still should have went out the other way. Does he seem bloated at all? -above his cloaca, is he puffy-looking? -or are there any hard lumps (feel gently above his cloaca) or swollen areas?

    Double check his humidity too- digestion requires good hydration.
    Makes sense about the non smell. His temps seem fairly normal. 88-89 on warm side and 82-83 on cool side. Humidity in the mid 60s. He looks good. Nothing unusual and I don’t feel any swollen or harden areas.
