Young pastel throwing up her food

Kimmie · 07-30-13, 04:18 AM

So my young pastel, I got from my normal breeder Ed from Nederlands, have started to kill her prey and after a while throwing it up :/ this have gone on for around a month, she shed normal she dont look thin, she dont have RI, before this she ate normal close never said no to a meal.
I must say close all of my snakes are from E.C Reptiles and I never had a problem before.

Anyone have had this with any of their snakes?

Please help

One of the BP guys will give you a good answer I'm sure so I won't bother, but just want to say that I hope shes still in quarantine! Best of luck

I just took a very close look, at her and when I press her mouth, slight spit comes out, maybe she had a upcoming RI, im gonna start the treatment right away and hope it is just RI, :/ not just, RI is always annoying, but I got the treatment for that atleast.

Sounds like RI to me. What are your temps?
If your temps are spot on normal and the snake has fluid in the mouth I would up my temps a few degrees and lower the humidity by 10%.

I wouldn't just start medicating for an RI with only seeing some saliva. They do have saliva when not sick as well. Most snakes with RI if they eat at all will digest normally. It's another issue if she's regurging.

I would double check the temps and the humidity first as those could be the causes.

If you see other symptoms of an RI see a vet and get a culture done.

thanks yea I will look at everything and see if something is off, I use the F10 so it dont harm her, to mist her for 20/20mins and see if it helps, my lemon pastel had RI and did kind of the same tho he said no to food alot

All great advice. I would assume this is what you would do so my advice is for now. Treat as if just incase but find out before medicating. As Aaron said most snakes with ri that will eat hold it down. Again list your current husbandry and how you measure temps and humidity.

Do not mist as an increase in humidity is bad for ri.
