Hiiii our oldest ( but still young corn), has brought back its feed twice,,,,
The corn is about 18 inches long and about 1/2 an inch at its widest, Temps are ok and the corn has been happily active.
Last shed was clean, is dueto shed again but eyes still clear.
We are feeding the corn one med pinky a week and it takes softly but with no problems. We feed in a seperate tank then leave for 15 mins before moving back to its viv and then leave for 48 hrs before handling.
The corn can still active after it is returned to its viv.

We shall be leave another 10 days before feeding.

Should the food be upted to two pinkies, I am thinking the corn isnt full and taking a lie down to digest and the activity after feeding is causing the regurge.

Are we doing right by feeding in a seperate tank and then moving back to the viv after 15 mins. Should we try feeding in the viv to save any handling at all.

We arnt overly worried at the moment but if the next feed is regurged then it will be well over a month without food so we would like to get the prob solved.

Any Ideas or experiances along the same lines ???????????

Thanks Russ

How are you defrosting the rodents?

Just leave him for about a week to 10 days before trying to feed again. He needs his stomach to settle down again before he tries to digest anything else. Also what are your temps? It is ok to feed in a seperate tank and return him to his viv. This shouldn`t cause the regurge.

temps? set-up?
for persistant regurge you'd be better off getting it to an exotics vet tbh
