i have 3 yearling kenyans,and recently switched them from aspen to a natural black sand,(looks better,less dust,and the snakes are way easier to find now).since then,however,the snakes are regurging left and right,every single meal.i don't feed them in the cage(i use seperate tupperwares),so i don't think that they are ingesting the sand,and the sand actually holds the thermal gradient better than the aspen did.any advice or suggestions?

regurging?
Replies (1)
Kenyans don't usually have a big problem with regurging.
I have notice very good feeders do it if they take a meal and then go into shed or if you feed a gravid female too large a meal. In my experience though, temperature either too high or too low( more often with too low)is almost always the bigger cause. Put one back on aspen for a week or two and test feed that one.
