Review your Husbandry
Temps ?
High heat will cause . . . . .Could there have been a temp spike ?
Prey size ?
To large of prey will cause . . . .
Feed schedule ? some animals will not take/retain prey every week.Although they take it(consume)doesn't mean they will nor have to retain it.
Excessive handling prior to feeding?(stress)
Closely monitor temps/humidity for 2 weeks(14 days)before attempting the next feed.
After two weeks attempt feeding and if the animal regures again then I would see a Vet.
If at all possible recover any fresh fecal for immediate analysis.

Point is dont freak out,allow for system recovery before next feeding attempt.

(speculation mode off)



>>My male 2007 boa was given an adult size mouse and regurged it. I gave it the same size mouse several weeks ago without any problems. What is the best advice for boa's on how to treat a regurg?
