How long after regurgitation to feed snakes again
I'm getting mixed reviews. One poster here has told me that a snakes metabolism keeps producing digestive enzymes even right after regurgitation. I read elsewhere that snakes have this "gut flora" or bacteria that takes about a week to build up after regurgitation and that is needed to digest food.
What is your guys' take on this? I've tried searching the internet but I end up in places like yahoo answer, other forum boards..etc. I can't seem to find a legit article on this matter.
EDIT: Actually I just found an article on anapsid and it mentions something about the GI tract and esophagus up to the mouth being irritated by gastric fluids that come up during regurgitation. Maybe someone can shed some light on this as well.
