spitting up

[Xandden]

I didn't want to look for another thread because I am nervous and don't want to look through all the other pages. My corn has for the last two feedings spit up her food about a day after. I use frozen pinkeys bought retail, she seems healthy being very active. I could be overacting I usually do about things like this but I wanted other people opinions. Thanks.

She is regurging the meal? First thing, quit feeding her. Everytime she regurges, she loses valuable and precious gut flora, and she needs time to build that back up. Everytime you feed her and she regurges set you back even farther, and she will die.

I believe Kathy Love has a great guide on her site as to how to slowly get the baby corns back to eating without regurging. I suggest you google it, or I will post a link if I can find it relatively shortly.

It's a different forum, but Kathy Love was the author, give it a read through. I hope that helps you.

Hmmm..... I'm not an expert, but these are the basics: Is the temperature correct? Are the mice completely thawed? Does your snake have somewhere to hide? Are you waiting 1-2 days after feeding it to handle it? Ummm.... another possibility could be parasites.

Thanks for the link I am following what it said. I found the problem was my heating pad was not working properly and I purchased a new one the following morning(the morning after my post). Thanks for the help.
