Hi,
Sorry for the long post but I am in no way claiming to be a "boa" person, allthough I have worked with multiple species of reptiles most of my life.
I bought an adult pair of CB Surinames about 5 years ago and they produced their first litter last year.
I sold most of the babies in Nov and Dec 06 and got a call from a buyer today saying her snake has regurged 3 times.
My snakes have never been near imports and they are truly CB in the USA so I was wondering if this is something seen in the boa world that happens from completely out of no where.
I want to also add that I was a bonehead when I shipped him, and fed him 3 days before I sent it out(I lost track of days until shipping) and it did regurge in the shipping box. I am totally to blame for that and feel horrible.
Is it possible that this is triggering the issue at hand? I asked what she is feeding the snake and it seems like the size is OK for the size of the snake. She did state the snake is growing normally. She is also feeding f/t and I was feeding live.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I am not posting this to get into a peeing match with the buyer.The money I got for the snake means little to me. That is not the issue.
I only sell healty animals and anyone who knows me will vouch for that. Without a clean name in the industry you are nothing as far as I am concerned.
I am just looking for answers.

Thanks a bunch,

Scott Pasqua
