if your snake regurges again, it is best to leave them for ten days and then offer something really small, then if that stays down offer the normal meal seven days later.. |

| been 3 days now since they both fed and all is still in the belly so think everything is fine now. i think it was due to the stress of the move. she had never done it before so fingers crossed she wont do it again! but time will tell. |

Can you post some pics of your set ups for them please? and information including temps and stuff, thanks
are they housed together?
How old are they?
they should be housed seperately for many many reasons, the number one being illnesses and also that they are solitary animals, it is us that think they need to be together... |

How long have you had them yourself?
How much do they weigh in total?
I would stop misting them too if it were me. |
