My 2 month old corn snake just regurgitated her mouse that I fed on Friday. I feel so bad, the pinky did look too big, so I bought smaller ones on Saturday. Is there anything special I should do? Would handling be okay tomorrow? I feel so bad :nope:

This thread should be very helpful and contains links to specific issues regarding regurges and feeding problems: http://www.cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=28342

The only question I have left after reading that is how long I should wait before holding her again. I figured 48 hours, is that enough?

From what I've read about regurg, it's best to not bother the baby as much as possible during recovery time...the less stress the better...I'm sure others will chime in...hope she gets well soon

Do NOT handle until you get a successful meal down her.

I would add, don't handle her until she is keeping down multiple meals (I wouldn't until you are completely done with the regorge protocol [the link Buzzard provided]). You don't want your little one regorging again.
