my corn has regurg again not in sucession but its the second time he has done it. background info. he is around 1ft to 18inch long and is eating 1 pinkie every 7days, hes in a large flat plastic viv 2 hides,and a fake plant, with a hydrometer in the middle and a thermometer at the hotter side, hes done it before and i was told to leave him a week and try him again, and he took it fine after that. That was 3 or so weeks ago. (so only 1 feed between) Now on the sunday just gone we fed him (in a different tub) 1pinkie and tonight just went to say good night (sad, i know, get told that all the time) and notice THE SMELL!!! checked his viv and sure enough a regurg pinkie with a bit of poo near by should i worry??? i cant tell if im doing anything wrong maybe someone would be able to help |

wot tempreture is the hot end? do you have a thermostat to control the temps? also if your snakie is regurging leave it a good ten days between feeds as this will allow time for the stomach juices to settle. :) |

i feel your pain...having the same problem with Savanna at the mo. The same set up as Indiana(my other baby). same temps, same hides in the same place, in the same room(seperate vivs).its so frustrating. The only differance is Savanna is slightly smaller and a tad more nervous so for the last week have kept her faun covered with a pillow case. Although she did shed a few days after her last regurge so put it down to that. Fingers crossed her current feed has stayed down but left her well alone except for checking temp and water changes every few days. |

Hair dryer is fine to use to warm up, only way I can seem to get one of mine to feed. The white spots are freezer burn, I have never seen a pinky without freezer burn so they are safe :)
Are his temps ok? How long have you had him? Is he in a busy area of the house? How long are you leaving him to feed after the regurges?

i defrost the pinkie with luke warm water and use my partners hair dryer to warm them up.
just thought, not all the time but some of the pinkies have one or two tiny white spots on them, could this be the cause??? |
