My little guy decided that when I fed him on friday, he was going to regurge his latest meal, and what appear to be the remainder of his last meal on Saturday night (There was very little, maybe just the snout of the last meal). I'm going to get in contact with a vet tomorrow, but I don't have any stool samples, and stupidly I threw away the regurge, so I don't know if there's anyway they can check him for parasites. Anyway, my point is, since I know he can't eat for at least a week, or 10 days depending on who you talk to, I wanted to make sure he's still getting some nuetrition since he's a little under fed and so young. I've been having trouble finding a vitamin that I can just desolve in the water in my town, so I was wondering if I could dilute a little orange juice or grape juice into the water. I know it's not a huge amount of vitamins, but at least it would be something to help in his system.

I'd avoid the additives
They sell a vitamen powder especially for reptiles. It is made by Rep-Cal and is called Herptivite. You just lightly dust the pinkie's butt before feeding.
Here's a link to the product on Bean Farm's website.

Snakes get more than enough vitamins from their prey, so I wouldn't be concerned about adding more. Even though there was a regurge, any healthy snake will recover and be fine after 7-10 days.
On a side note, you can add grapefruit seed extract to the water. Use the forum's search function to find numerous threads describing the use of this product.
