Strange behavior...

[Cracker2012]

Cracker and I were chillin on the sofa after she had eaten quite a few meal worms.

All of a sudden she is freaking out and there was a liquid rolling down my shoulder. I pulled her off and set her on the cushion, and it was as if she was trying to regurgitate her dinner.

Nothing came out just mouth open and I could see a part of a worm.

A minute later she was fine.

Any explanation?

And it wasn't because she wasn't used to being handled, I handle Cracker all of the time, we watch movies together

She was probably too cold laying on your bed. She needs to lay on her heat mat for a few hours to digest her food.

 

[Cracker2012]

At first she was on my shoulder.

Yea, they need to be on their UTH after eating to digest. I know mine always eats it's mealworms and crickets, then goes and lays FLAT on her stomach right over the UTH. And she'll lay like that for at least 4 hours

 

[Cracker2012]

Ok she seems fine now, it just really scared me especially when there was fluid running down my shoulder.

Anyone know what the fluid was from? I did not see where it came from but there was quite a bit.

I would guess, if she/he regurgitated, it was a combination of stomach acid and bug..juice...for lack of a better word.

its kinda a general rule that you wate a few hours before holding after they eat or shed
