Re: First Snake Regurge
BCC's are more prone to regurge than BCI's and do better with slightly undersized meals and one prey item. They are also a little higher strung, as a general rule, and stress more easily. It's possible two fuzzies were too much for him. Also, make sure the temps are adequate for him to digest his meal. He needs a certain amount of belly heat. This can be provided by a heat lamp and not necessary a UTH.
Since you do not know his health history before you got him, it's possible he could have regurged before. Check out the other threads below this one on "regurges". There is also a "how to" thread, but I can never seem to find it. Neither of my snakes have every regurgitated, and one of them is a nervous BCC. I feed him slightly undersized meals and do not handle him for 4-5 days afterwards. So most of what I'm say is "regurgitated" from others' posts. (lol) I'm sure some experts will weigh in shortly.
