She still will not eat

BCBoa May 11, 2004 12:09 PM

Hi Everyone,
One week ago my boa shed and two days later I feed here a mouse she regurgitated it a day later. I waited one week and tried
A live hopper she is only 18 inches she was eating good before she shedded. I lowered cage temp 82 degf she just killed the hopper over night but did not eat it how long should I let her go before I start getting concerned and when should I try again

Thank you

The boa needs time to rest its gut. By the way what were your temps before you lowered them to 82? I ask because it is my opinion that 82 is about exactly where the ambient temp should be. Too high of temps can and will cause regurgitation.
