I HAVE A COLUMBIAN RED-TAIL BOA, ABOUT 2 MONTHS OLD. I HAVE HER IN A TANK WITH ABOUT A 81 DEGREES DURING THE DAY AND 70 DEGREES DURING THE NIGHT. LAST WEEK I TRIED FEEDING HER AND SHE DIDNT WANT IT. DURING THE TIME BEFORE HER NEXT FEEDING SHE CRAPPED TWICE. NOW, JUST LAST WEDNESDAY WHEN I FEED HER SHE TOOK IT FINE BUT, TODAY SHE JUST THREW IT BACK UP.
CAN ANYONE HELP!
PLEASE AND THANKS!
Her temps are very low... you want more like 87 in the hot spot and 82 in the cool spot during the day, and 84 hot spot / 82 cool at night.

Give her stomach a couple of weeks to settle before feeding her again or she'll puke again.
Cheers,

hope shes fine good luck
How are you measuring and where are you measuring? I fyou are using stick-on thermometers forget about it. Get yourself either a temp gun or a digital w/remote probe. Then measure the surface areas of both sides. Those will give you your warm and cool temps. Go from there. I would get your temps up to 80-90 or so.
