Ok I got a Coastal from a member on this forum and on the lid it stated it's had three feeds but since I have had it in four feeds it has regurgitated three of those meals usually two days after it's feed.
It's on a hatchie rack and all the other hatchies from a clutch I breed aren't doing this so what can it be - is it the snake or something I'm doing wrong?
I don't handle this hatchie and it's happy to take a feed but wont keep it down.

Edit:
Which feeds did it regurgitate?

They are in a dark place 3/4 of the day.

|  | Impatient Snake Subscriber | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Sydney Gender: | | | | Auz - Stress could be related to any factor - so the other hatchies feeding well doesn't necessarily mean that this one isn't stressed...
I had a Juvenile Stimmie arrive last season that had an almost flawless feeding history for the 6mths previous - he took six weeks to start feeding in my care while the female that arrived with him took every feed from week one without issue. Both were kept in identical tubs with identical conditions...
I have never had a regurgitation though so am unsure if this is the cause or it is something more serious...

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Jan-07 Location: Gold Coast | | | | Could it be struggling to digest the size of food it is taking and therefore regurging so it doesnt cause internal problems? Maybe try a smaller prey item? |
