Hi there! I'm a new member here, I got a corn snake couple weeks ago, she is 2 years old. She is my first snake and I love her lots.
I fed her on Saturday night and right now it's Tuesday morning. Since at least Sunday morning she has been hanging out on the cool side of the viv, and I've been so worried about her..
I live in a basement so temps can't be crazy high here, I have one of those zoomed thermometers that I placed on the cool side and it says 75-76, I got a probe digital one mailed to me tomorrow.
I thought the hot side might've been too hot and got a thermostat yesterday lowered the temp to 86 on the bottom of the tank for now while waiting for the thermometer.
I am just worried that she ate a pretty big mouse, and I can still see a big bulge on her after almost 3 days that seems as big as it was on Saturday...
I can see her sometimes going to the waterbowl to drink but she stays on the cool side.
Should I be worried it may be a regurge or is this normal? Should I leave her be or can I help her by moving her to the warm side perhaps? I would think she would know to go there especially now that the temps are lower with the thermostat...
Thank you very much in advance for responding.
