    Checker trying to puke?

    My sister just came into my room and noticed my male checker was doing something weird, i got up and looked. It looked as if he was trying to puke, but there was nothing coming up... there shouldn't be anything wrong with him, he just ate a fuzzie 2 days ago. It kinda looked like what they do when they eat something along with there regular food. BUT i feed them seperate, and the odd time in the cage, but always watch them.

    Regurgitation isn't too uncommon. Something just not sitting right.
    I have it happen every once in awhile. With my snakes, that is.

    It's happened twice here, during the last 5 years.

    I just had it happen last week. Not sure who did it but it was right after they ate larger mice than usual. I'm thinking it may have been Stewie, cause she was a piggy and ate the most.

    Just as an update, my male checker is perfectly fine, it must of been a "fluke puke" lol he mated this year to both of my females although isn't eating a whole lot right now but I'm not concerned atall.

    Cyprus mulch. Not good stuff. Any chance he swallowed a splinter?

    I suppose they aren't a whole lot different than us when it comes to "bad food" or once in awhile stomach troubles.
    I usually get worried when one of mine pukes but most of the time it's nothing.
