Ok guys and guy etts....
My lil girl has been sick recently as some of you may have known, She had a regurge and that set me off as a hypocondriact (if thats how you spell it)
I thought she had got a skin problem as she went all saggy and scales where popping out....however....woke up this morning to find a full complete shed!!
Now that makes me think that the regurge was prob caused by me feeding her while in the shed process!
I will post some pics later of her amazingly bright new colour!!!
Its the first she i have had the pleasure of dealing with, with her and i have to say its amazing!!!!!!!!!! far better than any other snake i have owned/Seen
Thanks peeps!!!!!!!!!
Ps...Snakesitter is awsome for advice on regurge!!!! regurge specialist!!!! |

Glad to hear it, Steve, and thanks for the kind words!
Pretty Bunny has an excellent point: after your snake sheds, *always* check the discarded skin for eyecaps.
A regurg should not be caused by feeding while in shed. I would still play it safe on your end and treat her as normal for a regurg. Everything should be fine, but better safe than sorry.
Looking forward to those picts! |

| YAY! I seriously thought she was in shed, but just wasn't 100% sure. That is wonderful news that it all went well. Now, just follow Snakesitter's advice on how to treat the regurg (I have to agree that I don't think the shed is what caused it) and you will have her back on track in no time. |

Other than that, it must have been the temp too high? But eh, she looks great now and seems to be fine!!

| Temp too high could absolutely trigger a regurg. As you are on top of that, it sounds like everything is back on track now! |
