Thought I had this taken care of, but my little female Bairdi (born late July) has regurged again today. She did this twice over a month ago, but I thought the temps were too cool, so added a UTH and NutriBac with smaller food items, and she did fine for a month (fed 1x/week). Yesterday she ate another pinkie, but today regurged! I rarely handle her and haven't recently, so that's not it. Checked the temps and they might have been a little too hot now, they were around 88 right by where she stays in the corner. Could this be the problem? I really don't want to lose her. Should I just feed her smaller items more often?
Thanks!

88 may be a little too warm. drop it down to around 82 to 84 and continue with smaller prey items.
Don't feed too often though. I would take my time with her.
Wait 7 to 10 days from this last regurge and feed her a smaller pinkie and try taking a razor blabe and making a couple of slices down the pinkies back. This can help in digestion.
If it keeps this down repeat for three more weeks. Like I said don't try to rush her or feed he too often.
If she does ok for three weeks with the smaller pinkies move up to a little larger pinkies but continue to cut the pinks.
I would rather take it slow and easy then try to rush it.

I'll do just that! I've only lost one baby snake before, and it was because of regurge, don't want to do it again. As I said, she came through last time, so I was really surprised she did it again. I've turned off the light, and the heat pad only comes on at night. She is on top of a plywood cage and gets bottom heat from that, so hopefully that's enough.
Ugh!!!

Both my adult females will throw out a regurge.Ive found that if there getting ready to shed,darkening up a little,is when it happens.My big male will regurge if the temps are over 84.Right now my adult male wont even use his heating mat and my room stays at 70 during the day and drops down to 60 at night.He also eats one medium rat a week with no problems.Its taken awhile to get them all dialed in.Last week my young son or cat unplugged a power strip for most of my uth.It was regurge fest 07 here.I dont care if 11 snakes all crap on the same day I can still smell the regurge from the other room.Good luck with your bairdi.
