i have a two year old. she has been put into a larger enclosure with a different hide and water bowl. 3 days after her food was upped from 3 small mice, to 2 medium sized mice (the size wasn't too much bigger) and she has regurged yesterday. she has been moved from the back bedroom to the living room. all this in a very short time. looks like i have thought she could handle more than she can.

any tips on getting her less stressed. theres no handling, and i feed her once a week, any tips greatly appreciated!

well, wait 2 weeks till you feed her again, and when you do feed her, only give her one prey item. may have been too much for her.

also, in this 2 weeks, no handling, good luck

thanks, you think i should offer her something small next time like a pinky? just to get her to keep it down? and then after progress up a size back to small adult mice for a while longer? she used to take 3 small mice easily and they weren't much different from these medium ones i have here.

your corn is 2yrs old so i would only give 1 rodent per week, i give my adults a large mouse a week
and they are over 5ft and healthy weight

she was on a maintenence diet however for over a year, she is around the size of maybe a yearling. but she has always handled her small mice x 3 every week no problems

Maybe step it down a wee bit. I wouldn't say a yearlng corn could handle a medium mouse. Take a pic next to somthing recognisable so we can gauge size.. probably better off sticking to smalls.

A normally grown on 2 yr old corn would be eating prob one medium mouse a week.

i better leave her alone and not handle her for a while, i will take a photo next to a cd case or something soon so people can get an idea.

my yearlings i give medium mice but that also depends on size of snake, i have another yearling on 1 small mouse
snakes will eat and eat, they only need to be fed 1x week and 1 rodent whatever size for the snake in question
power feeding isnt advised and isnt healthy
but thats my thoughts other could say diff?
hatchlings feed different also but dont need to go into that as yours isnt a hatchling x
i hope you find the solution needed for your snake
all the best x
