Corn keeps throwing up!! Help guys!

shanegreeneyes Aug 03, 2007 08:54 AM

Hi, Ive had my ghost corn for about a month now and he's disgested his food only once since Ive had the little guy! Hes bout 14 inches long. I feed him pinkies, one per feeding only to come back in the morning to find he puked it up. This is the only snake i have that does this too! Hes in a rack and the temp is perfect, he has water etc etc. i dont hold him either!
i just dont know what it is and im scared because hes getting really skinny from not eating. Please help me guys.
thanks

If you have a snake who has thrown up more than twice (and sometimes it only takes once), they get on the critical list. There is a protocol for preventing regurge in snakes, but once they go past that second time in such a short while, they are pretty bad off. Make sure that you go to a qualified experienced herp vet, though.
