I picked up a Ceratophora at a reptile show in August. She was a wild caught import. She is doing good but recently I noticed she has been regurgitating her food. I am really not good with regurgitation issues because I have never had it happen before so any advice would be great. Also, could this be a sine of parasites ?

I am feeding it Pinkies and it is an adult female ceratophora. By my estimations she should be able to take hopper mice without a problem.

How hot are you keeping it? This is a species that does best at lower than normal temps, due to the fact her native habitat is high elevation temperate forests. If she is too hot, the stress could cause regurgitation. Dont be afraid to let her night time temp dip into the low 60's. You can warm her up into the mid 80's during the day. I am not certain if parasites could be your problem, but it is possible. Try altering her environment first. Research the climate of her native Usambara Mountains in Tanzania, and mimic it as best as you can.
Good luck.
