hi guys just wanted to ask a quick question.
my new snake dorothy had a regurge on a mouse that i fed her last wednesday. She is 2 and a half to 3 years old and has just rescently laid eggs(before i got her) so she is a bit skinny and could do with a few meals.
It was a mistake on my part which will deffinately be learned from, i fed her to soon once getting her without letting her fully settle in. I know they need time to settle, but i thought with her being an older snake she would have been fine with it. Anyway im not worriedabout her as she is older and im sure shel bulkup no problem within a couple of months.
Anyway, i fed her wednesday and found the regurged mouse thursday. So, does the protocaul 10 days non feeding still apple to older snakes like it does to youngsters.
Shal i definately leave it til saturday (ten days) to feed her, or shal i try her in the next couple of days (a week)?
I am going to give her a smaller mouse.
what do ya think? 10 days for sure?
