"Ok well thanks to everyone who posted. But most of you over exxagerate tooo much. lol no offense. I am pretty sure she diod it because the mosue was too big. an adult mouse has a girth of 1" she has a girth of 1/2 inch. She never has problems feeding. I fed her a hopper mouse today she took it no proiblem. I am just going to give her one of them every 5 days untils shes ready for adult mice...thanks for the help"

If you would like to really listen to some advice this time I would like to know what you keep your temps at? I would also like to suggest that in 3 weeks when you attempt to feed her again you give the snake some bene-bac oraly and also syringe some into the rat before you feed this will provide good bacteria lost from regurging. I would also reccomend that you feed a pinky rat rather than a fuzzy mouse. The pinky rat is easier to digest than the fuzzy mouse. You are really approching a tough time now because it has been so long since she has held down a meal. The most important thing you can do is keep her hydrated. Good luck and please listen to us next time we are really only trying to help. Vinnie

bene bac or you can use nutribac, I mix the stuff with flavorless pedialite and inject quite a bit into the prey item. dehydration is going to be a serious problem. A trip to a vet is a must and please post your temps and humidity levels. I hope its not to late

Please listen to the folks in here when asking for advice. I didn't say anything last time with your last post of telling everyone they overreacted but you really need to pay attention to these folks. They have alot of experience and are willing to help you and your animals.

Take Trueredtail's advice and take your Boa to the Vet at once. I fear that it may die if you don't.

I don't think I am overreacting either.....

Well Said !!(per title)
The keeper should also address his own "regurge" issues,he's clearly not retaining what is being fed to him.Internal issues are evendent.

I haven't found the posts from three weeks ago that lead up to this. However, I have seen a quote of you saying you don't need help after asking for it and I've seen you type lol after saying your boa wouldn't stop regurgitating food. I think the best solution for you is to give the boa to someone who can take care of it and be sure they're giving it the proper heat and humidity. They don't naturally regurgitate their food. There is something wrong.
