one of my girls is having a problem

[daddy and son]

Hi all,
I just moved my 2 girls up to fuzzys. Muffy is doing fine with it. Chloe has regurgitated 2 in a row. My son says her eyes are a little cloudy like she's fixing to shed. Should I move her back to pinkys? She doeesn't seem lethargic or anything. Temps and humidity are good. Any ideas?

[Gungirl]

If she regurgitated don't feed her for 10 days at least. Once it's time to feed again feed only a pink head. You need to start very small and give her time to build up her stomach fluid. If she keeps down the pink head you can feed her again in a week. Make sure you still only feed a very small meal. After a few weeks of building her back up and she is keeping them down go ahead and offer full size prey.

I thinks its simple. If she was fine in pinkys go back to pinkys. Wait a few months and try the fuzzys again.

My bci Gabby regurgitated 3 Fuzzies after like 5 days. So I fed him hairless mice on the next 3 feeds and switched to adult mice and he was fine.

Do what Kat said, don't feed again right away wait awhile.

What everyone else said.

all the above advice is sound - wait a longer period for stomach to return to "normal" before feeding again and feed a smaller item for a couple of feeds before moving back up in size.

ok.. gonna give her a few days, give her another pinky.. thanks once again for the advice you guys! I'd be lost without you all.

I would give her at least a week if you're gonna give her a pink.

I have been told that stomach acids are regurged along with the food item and it really tears up a snakes throat, hence the wait for healing and de-stressing.

[daddy and son]

Update- it's been 8 days since she last ate. Gave her a pink last night and she took it without hesitation. She also shed a couple of days ago. Checked the tank tonight and no upchucked pinkies.. will keep monitoring it.

YAY!!! That's great news!

[SnakeyJay]

Congrats on her keeping it down..

[Gungirl]

That is good news but it was a risky shot by feeding her a full pink so soon. Please do some research on regurgitation and work to get back into feeding slowly next time.

Glad it has worked out so far.

If it ever happens again though, Cathy Love's plan (corn breeder forever and author of corn care book)

do not feed anything for 10 days (reason is that regurges cause a reduction of stomach acids, lack of which could cause slow digestion which can lead to food rotting in the snakes gut)

purchase gut flora powder or grapfruit extract (do not use both, choose one) and dip 1/2 pinkie in it and feed

continue this for 2 more weekly feedings leading up to full sized prey (still being dipped in the powder or extract for an additional 5-7 weekly feedings)

hope this helps in any future regurges!!

Just an update... Chloe has had 2 more feedings and is now doing fine.
