Hi, I'm Bri - I just joined the site.

I have a 10month old Kingsnake, and I'm currently feeding him one fuzzy every 5days. The temps in his valv are between 75-80F. I fed him a fuzzy about 4weeks ago and he ate it - 20mins later I looked in his valv and he was raising his stomach area off the ground and breathing in sharly while opening his mouth - pressumably he was retching, then up came the fuzzy. I fed him next day and he ate it no problem, no regurg. Well today he was due for feeding so usually while I defrost a fuzzy, I lift him out for a bit because I don't usually lift him out for maybe a day or two after he's eaten. So after about 15mins of being in my hand, he began opening and stretching his mouth/jaws again. and up came some saliva - nothing else. I fed him on Sunday and he has had bowel movements since then that have been normal. I'm really not sure what could be wrong with him, or what I should do - But it is really worrying me.
If you guys have any information at all or advice about this - it would be v much appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Bri.
