tri-color hognose regurge

tracehardin Apr 03, 2010 02:29 PM

I keep my adult female tri-colored hognose snake in an Animal Plastics rack on cypress mulch and a tupperware container inside with moist newspaper. She has an ambient temp of lower 80s and a hot spot of 90. The last two feeding she has regurged. Anyone have any experience with this?

That sounds several degrees too hot for a tricolor. Definitely could be the problem.
