With such young snakes, an impaction is highly unlikely. Just follow the protocol outlined by Spirit and you'll do fine. Right after a regurge, their systems have lost a lot of the natural gut bacteria they need to digest their food. That and the stress are why you wait the 10 days or so. It gives them a chance to not only let their system calm down but the bacteria they need to digest will also replenish themselves. If you get another regurge with the plan, I would actually add in probiotics. Sometimes after multiples, it makes it harder for their systems to replenish so they can use the help. I just get the capsules for humans, open the gelcap, and put it on the pinky. They will eat it anyways as it doesn't change the smell.
