As I am the owner of the snake being talked about I figure I should add my two cents. The snake regurged twice the day I got him. Once in the bag before he was taken out of the box and about a half an hour later, maybe less. He was taken to my reptile vet and given a clean bill of health as my vet could honestly find nothing wrong with him. He said lay off of feeding for a couple weeks so I did. When he did start eating he was given rat weaninglings f/t. He regurged for the first time since I got him on Sunday, three days after he was fed. He also had an abnormal shed despite ideal conditions (70% humidity and 85-90 degrees in his hot spot) I talked to my snake guru and this guy has been into snakes for as long as I can remember and he said not to necessarily worry about it as he might have just gotten stressed with me taking off his eyecaps. I agreed and we decided the vet would be called if he regurged next time. He has not been fed this week but will be given a mouse fuzzie two weeks from today.
As Scott mentioned, he IS growing normally and is in PERFECT health save for the whole puking bit. He is not dehydrated and again, outside of the puking, is an ideal snake.
