Lynn,..........I couldn't have said it better than the reply that Tim just gave you!. If you just purchased the snake, and fed it,the worst thing you could do is hold it within 48hrs after feeding!. More than likely, the excitement of being held/and or,in addition to the new environment the snake is in is what caused the regurgitation.....this is very typical. I would add only one other thing to the list he suggested for you. That would be to cut a small "notch" in a very small deli cup or the like, and put at least one in the "shoebox" sized cage so it can hide!!. Snakes(especially hatchlings) must feel hidden and secluded from the movement going on outside the cage. This is extremely important that you do this!!. after doing the few things that were covered in his previous post in conjunction with the "hide-box" your snake should do very well.......One other thing........I can't stress this enough,..make absolutely sure the lid to whatever you use as a container for the snake fits TOTALLY SNUG!!! Or else you will be back on this forum asking how to find your lost snake!!!.....I speak from many years of experience!!!(LOL).......hope this helped some.....Doug
