>>My question is: how long can a baby go without eating?
The answer is "depends...." How healthy is the baby? How dehydrated? What kind of cage conditions? If the baby is active and burning up calories in a warm/hot cage, that would shorten the time span.....
......but what if it has apready been two weeks since it kept a meal down?
The answer is the same "depends....". What kind of conditions is it being kept in? How much handling has it had to endure? etc. If it has been kept in prime conditions, I would try to feed it once it had been two weeks since it regurged. If excess stress had been put on the snake, I would give it at least a few days of isolation, etc. and then try to feed it.
But be extremely strict about keeping the stress to a bare minimum after the feeding, until the snake is well on the road to recovery.
Remember this is only my own opinion.
