Can someone please tell me why my neonate Suriname female is vomiting? She eats, three days later she blows a partially digested mouse up in her water, repeat.
Anyone with red tail experience, please pitch in.
I don't know if this is husbandry, illness or what.
For what it's worth, she's in a 45 gallon rubbermaid container, small hidebox, water bowl and two crossed sticks, newspaper substrate. Temperature ranges from 81-86 degrees in the snake room and I'm not handling her at all.
First night she threw up a small mouse, waited a few days and now it's like clockwork. Eat, digest, puke.
None of my other god knows how many snakes are acting this way.
The fellow I purchased them from isn't much help, I'm afraid. He says to wait 10 days and then give her a pinky mouse. A German website on boa constrictors says the same thing. Maybe they're right?
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Steve Ford
