Should I feed her again? Should I worry?

Answer 1

did it look digested or not? my one usually poops anything from 36 and 48 hours after being fed and you can often find that they have gone in there water dish my sons python is always doing this!!!! You only need to feed your python once a week and the mouse should be the the same size as the greatest diameter of its body... you can feed it up to 1 1/2 times this but then the python could have difficulties digesting its meal...also you shouldn't handle the snake(other than placing it back in its viv if you have fed it in a feeding box ,then you should leave it settle for a hour or so to let it enjoy its meal lol)for one or two days after its fed ,as doing this could cause it to regurgitate the meal!!!! hope i have been some help!!!

Answer 2

No it must of regurgitated. It probably did it because it just shed. Usually snakes will have feeding problems during their shedding period. Also you shouldn't feed it 2 times a day. You need to feed at ONCE a day. If it doesn't eat the 2 mice in the morning then it isn't big enough for 2. Also it wuldn't have pooped it out already because their digestive system is slow. Also it wuld just look like a t**d and you shuldn't see any remains.

Another thing that culd've made it regurgitate is if you handled it soon after feeding. Another is that he might have felt threatened and had to lose the food. Put up a garbage bag around the outside of the tank. This shuld help it calm down.

Also, you shuld feed it in a different cage or even your bathtub because this will lower the chances of him biting you. If you put him in ur tub, he'll think "food". If he sees your hand in his cage, he could think "food" or "play". So if u feed him in your tub this will let him know that a hand in his cage means "play"..... If the problem persists, go see a vet!!!

I hope this helps and ur snake is happy again!
