Hello-- two weeks ago, I purchased two, 2 week old leucistic Texas rat snakes. One of them has regurged every meal since then. The first day home, she devoured a whole f/t pink and regurged the next day. I waited for 3 days, then offered her 1/2 a pinky; she regurged again. So I waited 5 days, then offered her just a pink head. She kept it down!!! So, three days later I offered her 1/2 a pink... she devoured it... and the next day regurged both it and the head (which sure was a nasty mess!!!).

Her sister is doing fine... eating like a monster.

These are my first rat snakes, and am wondering if this is sometimes an issue... or should we make a trip to the vet? The temps are fine, they are in a quiet room, and I don't handle them... so don't think it is stress...

THANK YOU for any advice!!
