I am not a vet. While I am not disagreeing with the last two post, as they are correct, there is another possibility. I have a 6’ wc redtail that will regurge if handled enough to stress her; even days after feeding. This is usually the result of her coming in contact with her own fecal matter and needing to be cleaned. My husbandry is consistent and I do not have problems with other animals. This happened twice before I figured it out (yeah I know, slow learner). Handle the animal a lot less, especially after feeding; up to one week after feeding. I am firmly convinced my animal regurges as a result of stress and nothing else. Handle your boa much less.



Feeding your animal smaller prey may prevent a regurge as the item will be digested faster and there will be nothing to regurge, but the stress that caused the regurge will still be there. Work on the problem as well as solving the symptom.



Leave the animal alone for two weeks, then try feeding an undersized prey item and leave the animal alone for another week. I know how stressed this can make you feel; everything is going to work out. Keep us posted.



Good luck,

Al
