Young Boa regurgitated
I've owned many snakes when I was younger. meaning in the early 80's and never had a problem other than mites which I easily took care of with very careful use of No-Pest, Vapona strips. But I won't get into mites as that's not my issue now. I bought a baby red-tail on 3-5-17 and everything was fine at first. Ate well. No mites. I have state of the art equipment now. Back in the day, I never paid much attention to humidity or temps and all my adult snakes thrived. Boa's, Burmese, Retics, even a Rock python. I don't recommend those btw. So now I buy a seemingly health baby red-tail and do everything by the book and its not shedding properly and regurgitated its last mouse. It did eat it tail first but that's not uncommon. So I'm wondering if I just bought an unhealthy snake or am I just being too impatient?
If I could do it over, I would have gotten an adult. Anyone have any experience with regurgitation? Prey was same as usual. Warm and not too big. He regurgitated it over 24 hours later but it seemed hardly digested. Just wet.
