As Kin already mentioned, I'm also thinking it's probably regurgitated meals. It sounds from the dates given like you are pushing it to feed WAY too often. A meal that shows a "SLIGHT" lump to it's mid-section every four-five days is plenty substancial for optimum growth.



The WORST THING you could do right now is to offer it more food!,...DO NOT feed it anything at all for an entire week(7-8 days)!!!!!, this is EXTREMELY important that you let the acids, enzymes, electrolytes and natural gut flora replentish itself back to normal so that the snake will be able to digest properly at the end of this one week period, otherwise it will only cause the small delicate snake to regurge again in a very dangerous "domino effect", and can quickly lead to certain death if it isn't given time to get its stomach back in order.



One other VERY IMPORTANT thing to remember!,....at the end of this one week period, offer a very SMALL meal to help make sure it can be held down,....then wait five days and offer another fairly small pink to reassure the stomach is back in proper order. After several of these SMALLER food items have been held down and digested properly, you can slowly increase the size,..but keep in mind, a young hatchling should ONLY be offered ONE pink per meal every 4 days or so,........the prey item should only be big enough for you to see a slight lump in the mid-section, not stretch the skin drastically between each scale!,....that is usually too big for a young snake to be fed twice a week.
