Regurgitation ?

cmservice Feb 11, 2008 06:25 PM

I have 1.2 BSTs. I keep each in a 16x24 cage with a small hide and water bowl, warm spot 86-88F, humidity 50-60%. I purchased these snake almost 7 wks ago and feed wkly. They have each had 6 meals and the females are doing great, but the male has regugitated his fourth and sixth meals 36-48 hrs after eating.What should I be doing different? CM

I would recommend a fecal and a vet check. Also, check the temps in the cage and make sure the cool end of the cage is 80F or so. Too much heat and too cool temps can cause an animal to regurgitate as well as internal parasites.
