1 of my bulls has regurged a couple of his past meals but not all of them I think, all of my bulls are at the same temp and not other problems. What else would cause this?

Nice looking bull, I was just wondering how long you are waiting in between meals and after it's regurged? Also, how large of food are you offering it after regurging a prevoius meal.

Have a good one,

Maybe the snake is stressed...are you handling the snake too soon after feeding? (probably not, but I figured I'd ask). This may be a stretch, but if you have a heat mat under the tank, have you checked to see if it still works? If it is broken, the snake may not have that warm spot, in which to bask and warm itself up for proper digestion...also, have you switched its food? Maybe it isn't tolerating the feeder mouse if it is a different "flavor"...GOOD LUCK!

to answer all the ?s I wait 5 days or so till I feed again. I usually fed him 2 hoppers or a rat pup. The heater works. The only thing is a have him with other bulls and maybe that to be the problem.

5 days in my opinion is not long enough of a time between regurge and first meals back on track. I would strongly suggest at least 10 days, as the snake really needs time to build back up stomach acids lost from the regurge.

Then..make at least the first 1-3 meals very small items.

When you say you are keeping it with other bulls...do you mean you are actually keeping it in the same cage with other bulls?
