If you have her in quarantine with belly heat, I don't see how you don't have proper belly heat set up on the cage itself.

If she regurged almost 2 weeks after she ate, then there is little to no heat at all being offered to her... she didn't digest a thing in 2 weeks.

I'm sorry but heat lamps are nowhere near adequate for heating reptiles, and especially such a larger adult.


I strongly recommend to provide her with adequate belly heat in her own enclosure and make sure the hot side is atleast 85-95, and the ambient temps atleast 75-85.

She could have a cold (respiratory infection) from being cool for so long, which could be why she regurged.

Make it warmer for her!

take care, Joe
