If you can recall, last week i posted a topic of my 6 week old corn snake regurgitating. As advised i gave him half a pinky. The head. After 15 minutes she still hasn't swallowed it. She has it in her mouth halfway now.
My other snake had it down in a fraction of a second. This is my second feed and the first defrosted. I held the tail of the second half (Well, i wasn't going to throw it away.) of the pinkie. Thinking 'Now i must wiggle it in front of her to simulate... *WHACK*' Scared the absolute hell out of me :D Darn what i strike power that little one has. I'd knew snakes were strong but the unexpected visiousness just took me by suprise.
But anyway. The puker is taking her time. Are there any extra thinks to take in account to make sure she won't regurgitate again? Besides keeping the viv warm enough and putting a towel over the viv? I'm really worries about her since she's already significantly smaller then the other one. (When can i expect a shed anyway? I thought soon after eating. The other one took 2 last feeding)
Thanks
