Was alarmed to see that my California King Snake had regurgitated his mouse that I fed yesterday sometime today He ate his meal no problem. The mouse was well defrosted and looked fine and comes from a reliable supplier. Otherwise he is well (I think). He last fed 6 days before. He is about 14-18 months old (I think). His viv temps are fine (71F cool end, 84F warm end). Should I do anything other than starve him for 7 days and try again? Any advice or reassurance from you experienced keepers welcome!
Thanks, I shall try him with a fluff in a week. I have cleaned out the viv thoroughly. He does seem less active than usual (well not active at all) but I am leaving him in peace and quiet until I try feeding him again. Fingers crossed.

I'd take him to the vets for a check up just in case - if he's not active and has regured that could be a bad sign - snakes won't regure unless something is wrong. Most vets snakes are classed as small animals so it shouldn't cost you too much. A reptile vet would be better as they'll be able to see any signs a normal vet may miss.
