    bouncing back from regurges

    How many of you that have had a snake regurge have the same snake now and it's doing fine?

    The reason I ask is becuase my recently aquired LTR regurged.

    He had been feeding fine with no problems. Temps and prey size were fine, however, I left the F/T pinkie overnight and noticed the next morning it was still there. 20 mins later I went to remove it and it was gone. My thoughts were it may have sat too long, thus the regurge.

    Any of you that have had a snake regurge understand the stress it puts upon the snake and yourself. So did they bounce back and make a full recovery, when standard "regurge protocol" was followed?

    If they're healthy otherwise, they bounce back just fine.

    Frequent regurges could be a sign of internal parasites ... I'd have a fecal float done asap just to be sure.
