I would leave him a few days to settle back down before trying again.

Any ideas what caused the regurge? I don't want to scare you, but sometimes it can be a sign of illness. Unless he was handled too soon afterwards?

I'd suggest leaving for at least 7 days before offering food again, 10 days preferably and as SN says, leave for 2 days after eating.

mine regurgitated 7 days ago and i wont feed him now until it has been 10 days cos i dont want him to do it againand i have also been told to feed him a smaller pinky than he is used to, everyone correct me if im wrong cos i usually feed Apophis 2 pinkys so that would mean dropping him to 1 for a few feeds.

If Apophis is still regurgitating Shaun it might be worth giving it a shot.

yes that's right shaunb give him a smaller, easily digested meal. if you've bought a few pinkies morgan it would be worth picking out the smallest in the bag/tub for his next feed
