I cant seem to find it any where so Im going to ask
I have a baby sunglow who was eating fine til 2 weeks
ago he regurged I tried to feed him this week and he
would not eat I tried again today and still he seems
more scared of it than anything. My question is should
I just keep trying every couple of days and sooner or
later he'll get hungry and eat or is there something
else i can try to do to get him to eat? Oh and he has
been eating live rat pups because ever since i got him
he would not eat frozen well any advice would be great THANKS

Don't feed him for 10 days to 2 weeks. He's stressed but more importantly he has lost that much needed gut bacteria and needs to build it back up. Make sure his humidity is high and has plenty of fresh water to drink. An eye dropper of water for him here and there wouldn't hurt. Next time you feed make the food item smaller even half the size. This is a very serious issue with baby Boas.
Three regurges from a baby will most often be fatal.

I knew it wasn't good

I agree (who cares, ha!). The only thing I might add is -- don't keep the temps too high. Kinda goes with the humidity.
Dehydrated boa = unhappy boa.
Regurge and too much heat = dehydrated boa.
