Brown fluid

[gts4749]

I recently fed my boa a rather large meal. She's kept it down for a couple days yet you can see the definitive bulge in her gut. Today I had to remove her to clean up after her and she wrapped around herself creating somewhat of a toothpaste bottle effect forcing alot of brown/red liquid from her mouth. She seems fine now I'm just curious if there's anything to be concerned about

Did you happen to snap a picture? How tightly was she wrapped around herself? Does she still have the bulge or has the rat been digested?

Hard to say without more details (or a picture), but it may have been a partial regurg -- on rare occasions they can cough up a liquidy pile of the hard-to-digest parts, such as hair. Next time wait another day or two before moving her, as it can cause stress. And keep in mind this is only a *guess*....
