Was Colas second try at a fluff. Her first one was brought back up (well the tail and back leg). Gave her another one on the 19th and gone in this morning to find another piece brought back up. Just wondering whether to go back down to two pinks for a bit longer as she had no problem with these at all. Oh and how bad does a near digested mouse smell by the way. |

Your set up sounds fine to me, but I have only had a corn since December 2011 so very new to snake keeping.
I have found this forum very helpful, mainly from just reading other peoples posts.
I wish you all the best when you next feed and hope all goes well, I would definately just feed one pinkie to start with and slowly build back up to two and then try a small fuzzie/fluff. |

Thanks blackcat. Got two coconut shells in. One in warm end and one in cool end, and a load of foliage inside going across from cool to warm end. Read the link and it works fine ta. |

Hopefully the link will work, if not the sticky is in the Health forum area.
Your temps for the warm/hot end sound about right.
People also say lots of cover in the form of foliage is useful as it provides extra security for the snake. |

I'm assumming your temps are ok as you have not had problems before, but would be best to check and also ensure the probes have not been moved by the snake.
There is a good sticky on regurgitation, well worth reading if you haven't already.
Leave your snake for 10 days before trying to feed again, only disturbing to do water changes.
I agree with Scaly, would be good to go back pinkies for a while, and I would even say down to one for a couple of feeds.
Hope all goes well with the next feed. |

might be a good idea to back down, you been feeding them wet? sometimes that helps them :) |
