Re: Feeding Cornsnakes
sounds like she vomited her food back up was she handled after the feed? as this can be a major factor and can make snakes regurgitate/vomit their feeds you really shouldn`t handle a snake until at least three days after a feed,increased stress can cause this,improper husbandry,eating meals backwards,over drinking after eating,dirty environment [not saying you keep your snake this way] but they are all factors. i`d also not defrost her food in water,just leave it out for a couple of hours defrosting as thats all it takes. if she has never done this before i would be taking her to a vet to get her checked out.

Re: Feeding Cornsnakes
I had this with mine. Regurged a mouse after 3 days (boy, was that smelly!!). I discovered my temps werent quite high enough so readjusted my mat stat by a few degrees.
Id also suggest leaving the next feeding for at least 10-14 days to give your snake a chance to get over it. ![]()

just as a guide,my own corns viv is set at 70 degrees.F in the cool end,hot end temp is 86 degrees.F and a hide is available to her in the hot and cold end. feeds should not be defrosted in water or the microwave either. mine all have their feeds individually packed in freezer bags and these are left out in a plastic bowl on top of their vivs for a couple of hours on feeding day ![]() |

Re: Feeding Cornsnakes
I know it could be from other reasons that is why I only shared my experience and not offered any advice, except to make sure the OP didnt try and feed again straight afterwards.
My guy had no further problems and carried on eating as you would expect of a Corn Snake (little piggy!!LOL) ![]()

Re: Feeding Cornsnakes
I have had my Corn Snake to the vet and been given a clean bill of health, he offered the same advice as yourselves and suggested I change the bedding from Beech chips as it could be an allergy as my snake yawns a lot, something I assumed was normal for snakes.......Just thought you would like an update, Thanks again for your advice...........Sandi
