Had a regurge from Neidr, which was lovely as he decided I needed to see and hear it but hey, it's nice to share. Have given him plenty more cover to reduce stress and no handling.

I haven't actually seen him for a day or two but as I type I can see him having a little explore and a drink.. He's due to be fed tomorrow which from what I read he should skip.

Find it hard to be hands off when I can see my lil dude having some fun! Anyway.. sorry slightly random and pointless post!

Got everything crossed, think my son's decision to turn into an aeroplane might have contributed to the stress... it certainly added to mine!

the usual rule after a regurge is to wait 10 days, to allow plenty of time for the stomach acids to settle and build back to normal levels. No handling in this time either, just go in to poop scoop and change water.

Probably the aeroplane didn't help - not something i'd recommend, tbh i probably wouldn't have fed if he'd experienced something like that. Don't want to say how to raise your kids, but might be worth having a chat with them about the do's and don'ts when handling the snake.

Hope he's ok

Agreed, care sheet says a week but most people I've spoken to say 10 days.

My son hasn't held the snake, have had a word with him about his behaviour inside the house so hopefully it's sunk in!
