Second Try

I got a corn snake end of last year, but it was having troubles I had never dealt with before and it did not make it. (Constantly regurgitating but having an appetite and otherwise seemingly fine) I was beginning to consider taking the poor thing to the vet when I came home and found it dead. It was very hard for me but I did learn something from it. Because a snakes stomach acid is so strong, when they regurgitate food, (especially more than once) you are supposed to skip a meal or two. This is because sores are formed in their throats due to the stomach acid and the sores need time to heal. I had never heard of such a thing before and whatever the babies problem was I definitely didn't help it. I am wiser now, though. I recently purchased a new corn snake and I'm hoping that things go well this time. I have only had him/her for a few days and I'm already attached. Now all I have to do is decide on a name.
