Exclamation Snake regurgitate

So ziti threw up his food, the mouse looked a little larger than the others but barely so I figured he could handle it

(I bought a bag of like 20 frozen)

But I also noticed that his scaled looked really lackluster like he's about to shed aNd I was wondering if that could be it too? I'm trying not to freak out but I am worried

If it was just a little larger it shouldn't cause him to throw up, did you handle him at all afterwards?

No not at all. I went to hold him today (I fed him on thursday) and I noticed he was about to shed, then when I got home from work like 9 hours later I noticed the mouse

Re: Snake regurgitate

What are your temps at? Regurg usually means stress or too low/too high temps. Also do you use a digital guage to measure the heat/humidity or an analog one?

Re: Snake regurgitate

Regurgitation can also be a sign of endoparasites. Worse case scenario. Just get a fecal sample done at the vet to be sure. Probably not, but why take the chance ?

Re: Snake regurgitate

Wanted to let everyone know that ziti is feeling better and is bad to being his grumpy self now that he's done shedding.
