Hello all,
new to the forum and I have a question. I got a female Striped Keelback (aka Indonesian Garter Snake) a few months ago and she's been doing great for the most part. She took to eating pinkies extremely easily, and I'm planning on moving her up to two soon. Occasionally in the past after I've fed her (anywhere from a few minutes to a day afterward) she will regurgitate the mouse and then immediately gobble it back up again. I know that regurges are bad news but I've had her on a weekly feeding schedule even with the strange half-regurges, and for the most part I've assumed it's harmless, but I wanted to ask others who might know more just in case. Thanks for any help.

Does anyone know anything more specific about this kind of thing other than it might be a parasite?
