I don't know any of his history. I bought him online, I haven't contacted them/ probably should. He's about 4.5 ft. I'm guessing late 05/ early 06? This is my first Suriname, I bought another that's just a babe from Barry Miller and haven't had a single problem.

Hot spot in my tanks are at 88-90 degrees, cool side's at 80ish. I will admit to one problem, I only have xl rats and rat fuzzies for the baby. However, the XL rat is barely noticeable after he swallows it, and he's a good sized snake. After the last regurges, I waited a while and went to the pet store for a med rat, which he had no problems with.

The rat he puked still resembled a rat, just a little gushier. I was out of town this time, but last two times it was on the second day.

He did have some loose stools when I first got him, so I definitely will go to the herp vet (emphasize herp vet, my wife's a vet and doesn't know squat about my boas!).

Thanks in advance for all the help, Attached is a recent picture of him.

Tony.
