see how she gets on, swallow much more than one wood chip in tge wild, and they dont have an owner with tweezers to get it out

 

That's a good point, but the woodchip was wider than her :/
I don't know if the chip, or I, damaged her when taking it out.

 

If you are worried about your snake would it not just be easier and take her along to see your local reptile vet to put your mind at ease?

I know from experience that both my OH and I would much rather spend a few quid on having a professional take a look at our animals than worry about the what if’s and so on.

I am not an expert, nor have I been here long all I can give you is advice based on my own personal experiences and in this case that is exactly what I would do, I hope this helps you and your Corn is fine.

 

et rid of the wood chip and use newspaper or kitchen towels till it is 12-18 months old.

Snakes scratch their throats quite often with feeding so it is nothing to worry about but if you want to be safe I would hold off of feeding for 14 days or so which won't do your snake any harm. Since you had to cause the snake a lot of stress to get the chip out I would not even go in the viv for maintenance for 5 days even for a water change unless it is empty as she may not have regurged at the time but could still do it in the mean time as pulling the wood chip out manualy would have been stressfull. Its unlikely the yellow fluid was bile as to produce it i should think the mouse would have come up first.

 

I feed my two large(ish) snakes in there viv's also some of the smaller ones refuse to eat outside viv i put either paper in there or some sort of lid and just keep an eye on them never have a problem.

My coastal and common have very heavy feeding responses and dont fancy moving them to put them back after feeding.

With my coastal i normally have to go in the viv after feeding to wipe the blood from all over the inside of the viv lol, would like to make sure its only rat blood in there not mine.

P.s i would agree about the corn if your unsure its the vets but they seem to heal well sure he will fine.

 

put a peice of kithen roll down to feed him on,that way you dont need to change the substrate and it should cut down on the liklyhood of it happenin again
