alright so i just purchased a cornXemoryi last week and she's super small. i went out looking for the smallest pinkies i could find and she'll take them down, but regurges them over night. any advice?

Well for one if she can take them down at all, I doubt they are too big.

If you just got her last week how many feeding attempts have you made?!?! :) Snakes need at least that much time to be left alone without feeding to get used to the new home.

I would stop trying right now. No checking on it, no holding it, nothing for one whole week. Make sure your temps are correct during this time, and do not disturb the snake at all for one week.


THEN try the pinkies again. If you feel they are too big, ask the pet store to sell you a pinkie that was born that day or the day before. They are much smaller usually then the frozen pinks they sell.

try just a head (yuck!). I got one teeny tiny baby this year and this worked for her.
