i never had this happen to me before. I fed my young male on thurs a slightly larger meal then he is use to and today (Fri) he regurgitated it. Now should i worry i know the meal was to large but will the cause a problem to the snake or is this ok.. any advice will be appreciated

Chances are it will be alright. A few things can cause regurgitation..temerature..either too high or too low, meal size..if you knew better...shame on ya, and handling a snake within a day or two of a meal can cause that meal to re-appear also. Next meal try him on a small meal like a pink or a fuzzy just to get him back on the right track.

well i know it had to be the meal cuz i usually give him a pink but my buddy who knows a little more then me said he should be ready for a fuzzy but he wasnt. so i guess i should wait till next week and stick to pinks. Thanks

I would also wait a week before feeding again to allow the stress from this episode to pass.
