Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

Is it possible the mouse was "bad"? The week before I thawed a mouse and as I was dangling it the belly broke open and black smelly stuff came out. Threw it away and thawed out another which she ate fine.

Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

I didn't use PAM, I'll send a pic when I get home. Substrate is fresh, new bag. It's been almost a month now that I think about it since treatment ended.... The entire treatment lasted 3 weeks. She never stopped eating regularly even during treatment.

Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

So then the Ingredients:
Dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate 2.1%, undecylenic acid 0.5%. Other Ingredients: 97.4%.

Would not be a factor in a regurgitation considering you were vigilant in cleaning, etc.

(Hope that stuff did the trick with your mites)

Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

Why is you under tank heater, not under the tank?

Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

It was one of the "ideas" that came across when trying to build up the ambient temp without using a lamp. Of course it did not work, but it helps LOADS with the humidity. There is a UTH under each side of the tank (hot and cold).

Two under tank heaters? What do you have them plugged into?

Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

Well I guess I'm going to try and feed her today and see how that goes. I finally put the drift wood bridge thing I made into her cage and she was all over it. She's definitely a climber as she normally wraps around and climbs up the tstat probe wires... now she actually has something she can get off the ground with easily. Hopefully this helps her calm down some. I'm also going to get some fake vines or branches this weekend to brighten up the tank a bit too an give some more cover.

ReptiTherm tstats.

Still going to hold off on feeding her to be safe. I did pick up some hopper mice last night tho. Maybe feed her this weekend.

Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

I'm excited to finish.... been busy this week so I haven't had the time yet to check stuff out. I did however add the drift wood to the tank and she loves it. She climbed it the night after I put it in.

Re: My BP regurgitated her meal hours after eatting

Your tank is coming along nicely Wykd. Once you add those fake plants, vines and leaves you'll be in the mix. Good job on the enclosure.
