Vomiting in Corn

[quailpower]

Right basically my early 2008 corn vomited today and Im wondering if I should worry.

He was fed on Friday night and has been hiding/cranky since but I thought he was due and shed so I left him alone.

Late friday night I came home from uni for christmas, basically just picked the RUB up, plugged a heat mat in the car and had a sedate drive home. Ive made the journey once before when I went up to uni and both my snakes were fine.

Do you think that feeding on that stressful day was why he threw up?

It was definately vomit and not a regurgitation, because it was horrible to clean up and there was quite a bit of goo (snakes have the worst smelling sick).



Both my corns live in a Viv with 4 hides. Spaghetti and Meatballs (my names) were adopted by me a few months ago and their owner claimed they had lived hapily together all their lives. I tried to seperate them and they got agitated so theyre back together now.
They were put in a 40Liter RUB earlier the week to get them used to it.

Temps are 30 in the hot end, 20 in the cool. Hides, water, aspen...

He seems fine now, cuddled up with spaghetti, and is responsive and alert. Should I worry or should I see how his next feed goes?

It sounds like an RI to me I have never heard of a snake 'vomiting' anything other than whole or part digested food and it not being an RI I would go to your local rep shop and ask them to take a look in his mouth or you could do it if you are confident enough and check for excess saliva. If there is check out this link on the best way to treat.

its not an RI, it was definately puke,

there was a half digested pinky and goo which i assume is the bile to digest it.

I have found it is best not to feed a snakes for about 4 days before they travel.
If they can not maintain the correct environment for digestion then you will get problems.
Easiest way is not to feed for 4 days prior to travel and wait 24 hours after arrival.
In your case I would give the snake 10 days to settle its digestion before offering another meal, treat it like a regurgitation.
Hope this helps.
