    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have an 18 inch redtail boa, for the last 2 feeds (full size mice) she has thrown them back up a few hours after taking them. Has anyone got any advice on what I can do? Smaller food? Freshly thawed/live? Other than this she appears healthy. Feel free to email me at [email protected]

Thanks
Richard
 
Stop feeding it for a week. Make sure your temps are right and then try a smaller food item. Like a hopper, an adult mouse is a little big for a snake that size...Hope this helps,

thank you very much for that advice. I've kept a number of snakes, but never came across this problem.

Once again thank you very much
Richard
 
I have to disagree on the size of the prey. A hopper is good to start the feed response, but much too small for an established eater to be on....
 
Not if its regurging! It needs smaller meals for a couple weeks to get itself back on track.
