Re: BP threw up/heat question

Find out if the temperature gauge is faulty or the temps are.

It's odd to have the snake eat the rodent but throw it up so soon due to a lack of heat. Snakes usually don't hunt if they are too cold.

The time frame of taking the rat and swallowing it isn't a big deal. Sometimes they are lazy and wait for awhile or just can't find the head.

Under normal circumstances a regurge like this would occur due to a scare of some sort. Maybe mom startled the snake when checking on it and the snake tossed up the meal. It happens in the wild when they feel threatened or insecure.
