I agree with the previous post. Along with the ambient hot and cool side temperatures also check your "hot spot" temperature. It’s useful to keep a temp. gun when keeping reptiles. Also, sounds like your boa may be new to your collection. It is always better to start with less handling and increase it as time goes on, same with the size of the prey. Whenever I pick up a new baby boa, I like to start it off on smaller sized prey and increase the prey size as I start feeling more confident about the boa and see a few good digestions. I usually don’t handle my boas for at least 2 days after feeding. I know many people have different methods that work for them but I’ve never had regurgitation problems and this system has worked great for me. I hope this helps.
