[Regurgitation] Please help !!!!!!!!

[Jimmy]

I'm freaking out right now, my beloved Otis just regurgitated. I noticed last night that he had past a lot of feces and was acting a little weird( very stiff, thin & not hardly moving). I pulled him out tonight and he was acting the same so I set him on the floor to go get the miss, when we came back (about 15 second later) we found him like this.



I know snakes do this but I've owned at least 100 snakes in my life and have never witnessed this behavior. I looks so painful and it has me worried sick....... Please lend me any advise you have ! ! !

He ate a large medium - small large white rat(I'm pretty sure it was all white) about 10 - 12 days ago, that was killed and frozen by me about a week before he ate. NO stress (that I know of). I'll read what you posted.

My Guyanas are doing the same thing. Have now for a few feedings. Vet appt. set for this Wed. If this is the first time, from what I've gathered from people on here, wait 2-3 weeks to feed again and offer food much smaller than what you normally feed. If it happens again, then vet appt needs to be set. Yours looks like a BCC. From what everyone tells me, BCCs do this more often b/c of their sensitive stomachs. I wish you luck. Hopefully this will be an isolated incident. It was really good for you to catch a video of it. Although it made me realize the pain my boy and girl have to go through when it happens.

Re: Please help !!!!!!!!

I'm just about positive that he"s dieing..... I'm so crushed right now...... I know I should be leaving him alone right now as to not stress him out but I just check on him and he"s gone totally limp, his mouth is not fully closed and his tongue is sticking out a bit. I feel so helpless..... He was my first Boa and had COMPLEATLY reunited me with my passion for snakes..... I don't know what I'll do if I lose him....
