I posted in late October that my amel Floyd was having regurging problems - 3 times since July. I was concerned because I could not identify any problems with respect to husbandry or illness. The main problem was that he did not seem to be able to tolerate prey items appropriate for his size. I cut him back to small size food items and fed him more often. I kept on him on this schedule for about 4 weeks and he has done great. He is now back on a normal feeding schedule and has doubled in weight since August. All's well that ends well... I have some pics that will be up soon.
