I know there's a lot of threads on regurge but I was hoping to get a list of common causes.
Woke up this morning to a regurge. Fed my new snake her third feeding of 2 pinks, almost 48 hours ago. She is currently weighs 24 grams. Her food in total has weighed 4 grams each time I've fed her so far. One pink looked just about fully digested (it was not discernible as a pink) and the other looked about half of it had began to be digested.
She may have been going into shed. She was showing no signs when I took her out to feed but she hasn't been as active at night recently, and I haven't looked for her since she ate the other day to allow her to digest.
One thing that has been going on is I'm having temperature issues. I have a repti temp 500R thermostat. One night it fell off the outside of the tank. Since then it seems to be more unreliable. I have to mess with it to keep the temperature in the right range almost once a day, and seems to be getting worse. Yesterday it was 90 in the warm side. I pretty much had to turn the thermostat all the way down just to get it to turn off. I think it's broken? Is this a good thermostat in general or did I break it when it fell off the tank? Could high temps cause a regurge? I would think she would just move to the cool side, but the regurge was on the warm side.
This is the only thermostat that I could find at a store near me. So if I need to get a new one, I'll get one online and I'll need recommendations. One thing I'm not a fan of on this thermostat is there's no degrees on it. My aquarium has a heater that has degrees on it (although, the degrees on the heater don't tend to match the actual temperature, it's still simpler to know that 85 on the heater = 80 actual degrees) are there any thermostats like that that I can buy?
What else could cause a regurge?
I feel like I jinxed it, I was just telling my husband how happy I was that things were going well for her so far
