I have an acrylic enclosure,reptile bark for substrate and a few pretty good hiding places. I dun handle him after feeding.
Well,guess i will let him rest for a week or so...
Thanks so much for the advice. =)
:First...let him rest for a good week after a regurge. His system is weak and needs to recover. No food...just fresh, clean water. What kind of setup do you have? Are you trying to handle him within a day or two after feeding? Right now, he needs total rest from you and feeding for a week at least following his last regurge. Don't try to feed him sooner. Then give him the smallest pink you have, and leave him alone for another week. Let us know how it goes, and good luck. Duffy
