Hi Everyone,
i have a female RT that was eating 2 small rats
every week. This week i feed her 1 med rat a day later she puked it back up .What should i do? I guess go back to small rats
but how long should i wait and should i start back off with a small meal or should i just go back to feeding her 2 small rats?

Please help

Wait at least 14 days from the day the animal regurgitated before offering the next meal. The next meal should be a small meal - I would say 1 small rat. Then wait 10 days until feeding again - I would suggest 1 small rat again. After this you can resume your normal feeding schedule but would go back to 2 small rats since this worked for you in the past.--------RON

Alos, DO NOT handle it at all for a good 7 days after this next feeding.

Multiple gurges are no good and can result in a repetitive pattern that eventually kills boas.
