regurg while shedding "HELP ME"

[SitherBci07]

I got a columbian redtail 3 weeks ago. Shes in a 20 gallon tank and temps and humi are perfect. Ive feed her twice no bigger than her girth, about every 7 days. She hasnt pooped yet but she did urate 11 days ago. It looked white and yellow with a little brown in it. I feed her a small mouse 6 days ago and her eyes were milky. Today she shed ,mostly in one piece. She had problems with the tail so I got her out and helped with the rest. I used a warm wet towel and it came off fine. When I put her back in her tank she soaked in her water for 15-20 mins and she regurged. Just want to know if thats normal?

It's not normal at all. There are some really good threads here on the subject of regurges. I'll try to dig up one or 2.

im not an expert (like many on this site) but i would say that u handeling her caused the regurge...i actually had this happen to me about a month ago...i suggest u dont feed for about 10 - 14 days...then start her off with a smaller meal...after that just go bnack to normal feeding.. and dont handel her at all for the next couple weeks...

this worked for me...my snake is eating and crappin fine...so i hope this helps..

regurging six days later definitely doesnt sound normal..

I would think 6 days should've been enough time to digest a mouse.

Here's one of the many threads. It concerns BCCs, but most of the info should apply to BCIs too. http://redtailboa.net/forums/boas/36...hlight=regurge

	Boa Constrictor Constrictor Red Tail Boa Constrictor (Boa constictor constrictor). Refers to "true" red tail boas such as the Guyana and Suriname locales.

I've been feeding her live until I read about the dangers. Tried frozen at first but she wouldnt eat it. I thawed to room temp then put in warm water. I was going to try feeding her frozen again this weekend. I figured she would have pooped after second feeding. Maybe constapated? Could it be parasites?

she regurged about 40 min after handling. It looked like everything was sucked out of the mouse, only thing left was skin hair and tail. Its color was a dull grey.
