Hello everyone, so about a week ago my BP threw up her rat. I was not home to see exactly what had happened because my mom fed her. She told me she fed her at 10 pm and by 2 am she just reached the rats tail!! As soon as she got to the end she threw it all up. I called my local reptile shop (where I bought the rat from) to ask when I should feed her again and the owner told me in 2 weeks. The rat was not to big for her, it was the same size I always feed her. The only difference was they didn't have and frozen so it was freshly killed. although I don't think that was the problem..I was just wondering if this was normal, I know it happens but was confuses me is the fact that it took her 5 hours to reach the tail!
Now for the heat..
I use a 100 watt ceramic heat emitter for both of my snakes, with a temperature controller. At first they worked fine. But now, the heat emitter wasn't catching up to the controller. Now, the controller is set on over 110 degrees (only because when I put it lower it does not heat it up at all) but my thermometer reads 70, sometimes 60. That's why i'm buying a new one right now. The heat emitters I have now are 100 watts. So Should i get 150 watts..? Will that be enough to get it up to the right temp?
I'm sure I left some info out so ask away!
