I have a boa that just regurged. i"ve had her for 3 months and has been in perfect health. She is a yearling salmon.
Temps, environment, humidity are perfect...she fed perfectly every time before...there is no way this could be stress related. What other reasons exist for regurgitations....only thing i can think of is parasytes in her stomache...could they have gotten there from a rat?? or were they there since i had her but just now came into play???
Gastroenteritis could probably be a factor. But it may just be that she had a bout of indigestion or perhaps something in that particular rodent's gut didn't agree with her... I would be upset too.

Were you feeding her rats that were perhaps a bit too big? That can be a reason as well... But in my previous post - not only meant that there could be parasites, but possibly something that the rodent had eaten - not sure if that can be a factor or not. Wait a long while before trying again and that whole spiel (extra small prey items for a bit)... I hope she recovers.
