Re: My emerald green tree boa
Yes, your snake puked.
It's called regurgitation.
There is no possible way for any snake to ever eat and pass food out the other end whole in under 24 hours, it's just not possible.

Re: My emerald green tree boa
First thing you want to do is check your temps and humidity. Usually if a snake pukes your temps are off, or the snake is overly stressed. Also could be you over feed. Try just one after a week and see how it does.
BTW hello and welcome!

Re: My emerald green tree boa
No handling of the snake either.. handling is stressful.

Re: My emerald green tree boa
Welcome - after a regurge usually best to leave feeding for 14 days to allow the snakes stomach acid to settle. No handling during this time just let him chill out and relax.
Next feed should be one item slightly smaller than normal feeding and see how he goes. Should he regurge again i would get it checked by a vet.
In the meantime ensure that the husbandry is spot on.

Re: My emerald green tree boa
I've had a regurge in my experience that was completely my fault and I never hope to smell that again. I fed a very wet mouse to very hungry jcp and a few hours later decided to take him out to replace the paper towel that got blood on it. He puked in his pillow case. It was horrific. end.

Re: My emerald green tree boa
Snake regurge doesn't look that bad but it smells like something died and fermented for a while.

The most foul stench ever is Monitor feces. That stuff would gag a maggot.

Re: My emerald green tree boa
My son and I are expierenced snake people that is why I refered to this forum I have never seen any thing like it either. I do kno the difference between reguritating and pooping. The snake definetely pooped them out and IDK why or what to do. We are def not handling him we kno that is ordinarily stressful to tree boas not to mention esp since this episode.His temps and humidity are good. IDK......... Is there a way to post pics on this site I will happily post them.

I don't believe it would be possible for a snake to poop a fully developed prey item out, please post those photos.
