Its also worth bearing in mind that if Marley was introduced to Lola (or vice versa) with no quarantine being carried out the unlikely but still possible event that Lola's regurge is caused by a disease, infection or parasite, may now also affect Marley (or vice versa).
Not much you can do now though. You say you've read the debate on co-habitation, but I would strongly suggest reading it again. |

Its not unusual to have a regurge with just the back end of the mouse, though it would suggest the items they are eating have the stomach stretched to full capacity effectively the mouse is plugging and protecting the back of the mouse while it dissolves at the front. Its possible that what you are feeding is too big for which ever one is regurging's stomach. Something to check!
The second thing to check when you get a regurge (and usually the culprit) is your temperatures, check you are getting the right hot end temps, too cold they regurge, too hot, they avoid the hot end and regurge.
You have to quickly find what you are doing wrong and correct it. Not a pop at you, but something is wrong and you control every aspect of their care.
If you notice, when you feed any snake the right size food, there is a bulge, so of course the stomach is stretched. if your snake ate backwards first, then i promise you that the head would be intact.
thats how it works, it starts from the front and works back.
The whole temperature thing is being blow out of proportion, they dont regurge if its too hot, they dont if its too cold, however, they MIGHT, there is no guarantee.
Nothing needs to be done quickly. Do not rush, take your time and get it right, rush it and there will be problems.
with regards to cause, yes there are many possibilities, but there is only one that is massively obvious, the size of the viv.
The whole co habbiting thing has been said, so i wont reiterate it, but the size thing needs to be reiterated.
Its not the stress of co habbiting, but the stress of such a large viv, not everyone struggles with that, but it seems that you are, that coupled with co habbiting probably isnt doing your 2 any good.
Follow the advice on this thread, but dont rush, take your time and do it right. |
