Just wondering if I could get some advice. My corn snake was fed on Wednesday as usual and today he's pooped as normal, but also partially regurgitated his mouse. Only a tiny bit of the mouse, but definitely some of it. He's been on this size of mouse for 3 months with no issues. His temperatures and humidity are all within range and are well maintained (28-30c warm side, 21-23c cool side, 60-70% humidity, 1 hide on each side). I never handle him after he's fed until he's pooped and I know the meal is digested. Basically, no variable has changed and this is the first time he's regurgitated.
I do know that the tank was clear after I cleaned the poop. When I went downstairs to make my dinner later on, my sister dropped something quite heavy in the room next door while I was downstairs and it made quite a bang. I noticed the partial regurgitation when I came back up. Is it possible that the bang caused a fright and that this caused the issue? And has some of the mouse digested fine as evidenced by the fresh and healthy poop? I know not to feed him for at least two weeks now, let his tummy settle and heal, and not to handle him but how can I stop this happening again? Like I say, it's never happened before and I'm worried it'll happen again. He's just over a year old, and I've had him for 8 months so I'm very much still a new snake mummy.
