How many times has she puked, and how long have you been waiting to try and feed her again? You need to give her at least a full week to let her digestive system recuperate before trying to feed her again. During that time: NO handling...just leave her alone. And don't break down and feed her after 3-4 days just because she looks/acts hungry. Then...feed her one pinky, smaller than the meals she has been puking. Wait another week...NO handling, etc. Then, give her another pinky. Still no handling. Work her slowly back to her usual meals. Some folks have suggested cutting the head off of a pinky the first time or two to allow it to digest faster...probably not a bad idea. Don't rush the feeding or handling or you will lose another snake.
What happened to your other two? Are your temps and other conditions OK for corns? Might be great for your other snakes, but maybe even too warm for the corns? Good luck, and let us know when she keeps a couple of meals down for a week or two.
