Perhaps not enough heat to digest the larger meal?



Any changes recently to the cage or room?



My opinion - baby corns can get stressed easily. They can also be eager feeders and eat meals that cage conditions do not allow them to digest (not enough heat). Dehydration makes digestion tougher too. A good soak in very shallow water for 5 minutes helps hydrate the snake.



I think too that when small meals are fed for a long time, the snake's digestive system is less able to handle a sudden large meal. What I have seen with other snakes like rosyboas, when as babies they eat big meals, they handle it fine into adulthood.



For now, withold food, make sure snake has a nice warm spot, and if you can get some Flagyl, great. As you can see below, corns can and do eat big meals. This one ate the rat just fine and took advantage of 88 deg temps for awhile.
