My Snake keeps regurgitating large fuzzy's

Hi, i own a Almenistic female corn, about 70 cm big!
She is used to eat f/t mice (fuzzy's) bud now she keeps regurgitate them!(the new fuzzy's are rather large! almost hoppers) i've fed her the 8th april and she regurgutated it the 11th!! and then i gave her one the 13th and she regurgutated it today (17th).

The temp in the tank is during the day (under the spot) 95f and at night about 70f

What arre the reasons for them to do this!!! Help me!!!
 
is there somewhere she can get away from the heat during the day? How hot is the rest of the tank? I've seen snakes regurgitate because the temperature was too high for them, so that is one possibility of why this is happening.

Firstly there is one thing that I have to tell you. You fed her on the 8th, she regurgutated it.......and then you feed her on the 13th......that is already something that you did wrong. If a snake has regurguated, then you should just leave it alone for AT LEAST a week (I usally leave mine for 10 days) to let the acid in the stomach to build back up. If it regurgutates and you still feed it.....of course it's going to regurgutate again since there isn't much acid in the stomach anymore after the frist regurgutation....
make sure that it has access to fresh water. Don't try to handle it during the 10 days (or a week) of rebuilding the acid. Don't do anything to it, just give it fresh water and leave the area.


Secondly, the hot spot in the tank is too high. Too high of a temperature will cause them to regurgutate. It's not unknown.... you said "(under the spot)" which I am assuming that it's a light heat. Turn it off.......(even if it's a under tank heater....turn it off) Spring/Summer is here already....you don't need these things to be turned on......as these will raise the temperature a bit too high for them. Make sure that you keep the temp at around 80-85.

Hope this helps.....
Good Luck and Happy Herping!
 
hmmm looks like they pretty much nailed the problem on the head... I really agree with the temp. being to high and try not to handle the snake till it poops... maybe the snake was frightened causeing the first reg. just let her settle down a little and let her gain some composior before you start trying to feed her again... just my 1/2 cent worth
 
For the rest of the temp in the tank... the cold spot is 75f.

And... eh about the spring! In holland there is still a lot of cold wheather and rain.... so the temp here isn't that high!

And i did not knew that i hed to wait about ten day's!! thnx for the tip!!!... i just thought that she did not get his food in... sow she got hungry!!
