hey guys, ive been keeping up with this forum for quite a while now but ive just recently joined.

anyways, i had a question regarding regergitation. i have an 8 month old suri X col arould 26in. that regerged a few days ago do to my careless mistake of feeding her a rat a little too big. i thought i remembered reading somewhere that once a snake regergitates it is more likely to do it again. is this true?

thanks

im also giving her a couple of weeks off to recover before feeding her again.

I've had boas regurg once and never do it again. I think it will only become a problem if you feed to soon after the regurg or your enviroment isn't right.

kasper22 is right....just wait a couple weeks and the next time you feed, just make it a really small prey item!

Ya I would wait two weeks to feed again and feed a small prey item like rat pinkie.I would wait about ten days to feed again after that.You definetly dont want start a regurge syndrome.True redtails are known for it just be patient.
