Hello!!! New here, but I've been watching the board for a while.....
Went and got a BEAUTIFUL snow outta Petco on 2/5/08 :-S The guy there said that he was fed the day before (but then no help on how old or sex). I grabbed my baby, Phyxious, and took him home. I took him straight to his tank, and after 2 mins of checking him out, I let him take off into his new viv......
The next morning I wake up to....regurge. Handling too soon after feeding.....??
OK, I've checked it out (read up on regurge practices), and - I fed him a brained, half pinky (head's up) yesterday (2/14). So far, he's kept it down. I figure I'll give it 7ish days and feed him the rear end.
I know his BOTTOM GLASS temps on the hot side (with a UTH and rheostat)are about 95 (SURFACE of aspen substrate being 85), and the cool side (ambient/room) is pretty much 75. And just like the good boy he is, he's now snoozing in the TP roll on the warm side.
So, I got my fingers crossed! I don't see any reason for the last regurge - besides handling - so here's hoping it's easily fixed!!!! with patience....
This is my first snake, and first post....and.....well.....
HI!!!!!
He's a tiny little thing yet, and hard to get pics of him...but we're working on it! Hopefully, I'll get a few more meals in him, and he'll be ready for his glamour shots!!!
