Great advice in previous posts and those procedures listed usually resolve the issue in the vast majority of cases. However, if regurges continue to occur after other options have not resolved the issue, an enteric bacterial disorder may be the cause of the problem. In these cases, where all else has failed, I have seen oral administration of Cipro work wonders on many different species of snakes with reoccurring regurgitation syndrome. The appropriate size dosage of Cipro cut from a tablet is inserted under the skin of the smallest size feeder that the snake will take. Three dosages at three day intervals is the preferred regimen. I don't believe I have ever seen this fail to resolve the issue. I am against the indiscriminent use of antibiotics, and would typically use this only if all else has failed to resolve the problem, however I have seen this work extremely well on tough cases.
