Hi,
I'm new to keeping snakes. I bought a young female Amel corn from a reptile shop just under 3 months ago. She is around 6-7 months old. She has never refused a feed, sheds well and is fed on large pinkies, one every Friday. She has no problem eating the large pinkies. Today she regurgitated, 5 days after I fed her. I didn't handle her until yesterday afternoon, which was 4 days after feed, and she was fine. I had her out about an hour ago and she pooped normally. But when I put her back in she regurgitated her food. This is the first time she's done this, it didn't even smell, but now she's acting normal and looking for more food. Her temps are 31c warm end and 24c cool end and she has two hides, one at either end.
I was thinking maybe the large pinkie every week might be too much for her to handle and maybe I should feed every two weeks? Any advice on the matter will be appreciated. I'd never seen a snake do this before so I got quite a shock when I saw her do this!
