When i work up this morning, i seen 2 fuzzies in her dish and they didnt look like p**p, to me it lookd like she threw up cause they jst looked like the 2 fuzzies i feed her tueday (one couple mins after she shed and one at the night totaling 2)and after the first feeding my friends were handling her so i think this was the cause (hadled after feeding)

SO SHOULD I FEED HER AGAIN OR WHEN SHOULD I?

  1. I would treat this as a regurge most likely caused by the stress of handling her too much after feeding.   Wait 10-14 days before offering her one small food item.  You need to give the stomach acids time to rebuild or you risk regurge again.  Your snake can easily wait this long so don't risk feeding sooner.  If you want, you can try putting grapefruit seed extract in the water during this period to help build the acid levels back up.  It's available at health food stores and online. 2-3 drops per 8 oz. of water.  It's a natural antibiotic and it raises the acidity in the stomach.  Once you go back to feeding, discontinue use.  You might also want to purchase some Nutribac powder.  It's a natural probiotic that I use for animals that have regurged, or are recovering from laying eggs or other health issue.  Since your regurge is most likely stress induced, I wouldn't worry too much. If it continues though, you need to have the animal examined by a qualified reptile vet.


  2. Yes feed her again. She didn't eat them so she is still hungry. Yell at your friends for doing that! Just kidding! Tell them not to handle it after it eats. But yes give her more food.

  3. Also, if she keeps throwing the food up after and it was not because of being handled, it could very well be because she is two hot. =)

  4. yes, feed her. and dont let anyone handle her this time. give her 2-3 days at least to digest before you handle her.
