My son, scooter, recently bought a yearling snow stripe male at Doncaster. The effing snake has now regurged four meals. sometimes it is the following morning, other times it is a couple of days.

he was an absolute nutcase when he arrived, striking like an 80s' miner, but has now calmed a lot. when he was striking he was eating. now its all went t1t5 up. tried him originally on fuzzies, but have been feeding him on single pinkies in an effort to get him to keep meals down. there isnt anything wrong with the food as all the other young corns are eating fine and no regurge or refusals. the snow has also refused a meal or two. any advice would be great.

I'm assuming the temps are right Very Happy

How long are you giving the snow between meals, and how long after a regurge? I would give ten days at least after a regurge. I would try giving him pinks after slitting the skin on the back just a small amount to let it be digested easier.

I would also try nutribac in the water, we have some here if you're wanting it or you can buy from Kathy Love's site.

Can't hurt to get the once-over from the vet if that fails, see if there's any nasties lurking ...

i only ever had one of my corns regurge, i left her a good two weeks before trying her again. but that was only once! she has never done it again. you maybe should get vet to give her the once over willie.

I would leave at least ten days then feed, if it happens again see the vet. Make sure they deal with exotics though.

Took a boa to the vets once and got her out and he was scared of her lol
