: You're on the wrong forum for this, but I'll try to answer. : If you have getula kings that aren't digesting, and this has been going on for a long time, : you have a serious problem that will probably be fatal unless resolved. : I suspect the animal has either an intesitinal blockage, or a bacterial or possibly protozoal infection. : Kingsnakes can normally digest even at normal room temps,(70F) as long as they aren't disturbed. : If the animal is defecating you should consider taking a stool sample to the vet for analysis. : Palpate the animals belly and see if you can feel any bumps. This would be indicate a possible blockage : or even a tumor or similar abnormal growth. : Regurgitation syndrome can happen in several species, but it is almost unheard of in getulas. : After regurges, feeding should never be retried for a least a full week, to allow the digestive system to : recover. : My gut feeling is, you have a serious infection or blockage. The animal will eventually waste away an die : unless the source of the problem can be found and rectified.
