A question...

avtdocz Apr 12, 2008 10:30 AM

HAs any one ever seen one of there BRB's regurgitate inside of a shedding??

I woke up yesterday morning, to find that my BRB had done just that... there was a week old meal down half way in the middle of his recent shedding...

I know why he did, and I'm not planning on feeding him for at least a week or two... Just wanted to see if any one had heard of this...

I've dealt with the stuck lump as well... and I usually offer a much smaller than usual prey item to them during sheds... most of my snakes won't take a meal while their shedding... BRB's are a completely different beast when it comes to feeding... little bottomless pits!! He's doing well... maintaining body weight and is still as active as he ever was, so I'm not overly concerned, just want to see if any one had seen it themselves. Thanks for the reply though!!
