I have just bought a 4 year old female redtail. Pictures in the photo section! She was kept with another male redtail untill he died of wht the seller thinks of old age. She has no food in her stomic and yet there is a boldge there! I know there is not any food becasue she regurged yesterday. Today I find some white stuff on the bottom of the cage. A photo in the same topic of where my redtail photos are. Please help me out, and give me sure way to tell if she is loaded or not. If you need more photos I can post more. Thanks for you help!!!

is she passing her meals ?one of my boas regur,because she was stopped up , she had shed skin stuck in her vent i gentle opened her vent ,whew ,but it helped her i waited a week before i feed her again ,but it came back up ,then i learned that once they regur, it causes a infection in the throat and stomach she had to go to the vet for antibotic shots then i had to wait 2 weeks to fed her ,a small rat (there easer on the stomach)but it could other things like temp or stress, but she does need to go to the vet,,hope i helped,,jeff

the white stuff on the bottom of the cage is likely to be urates(pee),how long is it since the male died,she could be gravid,or there again it could be an ovulation buldge!
as stated before keep an eye if she regurges again,and if you do feed her choose a prey item smaller than normal,hope this helps. :'(
