Hello everyone. My little Amel (from Petco) just does not seem to be doing so well (compared to my Okeetee from KL). For the past month, she has been regurging about every other meal, does not seem nearly as strong as my Okeetee, and is definitely much thinner (they are close to the same length, and in different cages). I can't see any bones protruding, but she is a skinny snake. She takes food very well, but it will come back up half the time. I tried to switch her to fuzzies to add weight, but that came back after three days (YUCK!!!), and she took a pinkie about a week after that and I decided to pretty much just leave her alone until she gets bigger, so we haven't been handling her....I just lift up her hide to make sure she is still alive.
So here is the weekly food pattern since I bought her: sticks, regurge, sticks, sticks, sticks, sticks, fuzzie-regurge, pinkie-sticks, regurge, sticks, regurge....last two meals fed in the same week (I was trying to add some weight to her by trying two meals a week).
I just went and bought the smallest pinkies I have ever seen, and will wait 10 days to try to feed her again. Should I be concerned about this, or are all snakes this very different when it comes to girth, strength, and food? Thank you all for your kind wisdom!
I would suggest you get her in to a vet and bring a sample of her poo. Hopefully it will be something that can be cured easily. I fought this battle with an 02 amel and it when on for nearly a year, her vet tests were normal, she just didn't thrive. She was kept in the same situation as my other 02 and he never had a problem, ever. It's hard to watch them when they just keep regurging. I hope you can fix her up.
