Update on my regurging Boa...

Well we took Cleo to the vet, with the stool sample and the regurged food.
She said that most likely the food was too much for her. we aren't to feed her for at least 2 weeks.
I took the temps and the hot spot unfer the hot hide (UTH) was 93.7 (with a 100 watt bulb over the hot side too) and the cool side went down to 71.6 when i had the lamp turned off (after an hour on the indoor outdoor thermometer) I am now taking the hot temp (under the hot hide with a red light) to see what it will give me. I'll post that new temp and the cool side with th red light as soon as I get a steady reading.

The vet did the fecal (and it cost $12 CDN, hardly a waste of money in my eyes) and it came back negative. and she definately had enough poop to test it thoroughly. so that is a relief.

So I will try feeding her again in probably closer to 3 weeks to 4 (she isn't very big, and don't want her to loose weight) and I will feed her a 7-10 day old rat pup instead of a 14-16 days one and see how that goes.

I just want to take this opportunit to thank you all for your thoughts and help. you made it easier for me to get through my work day reassuring me it wasn't parasite.

Thanks again, I really appreciate it, and hopefully everything will work out to be ok.
