Question Doh! Corn regurgitated his second feeding. What went wrong?

I woke up this morning to find both pinkie mice (which had been fed to my snake Wednesday afternoon) regurgitated in the corner of the cage. Since his feeding I have not disturbed him what so ever, and temperatures have been proper (about 85-87 on the hot side, and 75 on the other side) so I’m baffled as to why this happened. Is this kind of thing serious, does this mean my snake is sick?? Anyways I need some advice. The waiting period between feeding after regurgitation is 7-10 days correct? What should I change when it’s time for another feeding? Should I push the feeding size down from 2 pinkie’s in 1 feeding, once every 5 days to feeding him 1 pinkie 2 times a week? And also during this recovery time, should he be disturbed at all? Or should I handle him as though normal?

Thanks a lot.
Mike.

I would wait 10 days with no handling or feeding and then offer one small pinky to him. It's likely that the meal was too large, although it could be symptomatic of something else. Good luck.

I agree with Neumann - wait 10 days and only offer one food item. If he doesn't regurg, you can move the feedings closer together, and begin to handle him again.
If he regurgs the next meal too you may well have a medical issue on your hands.
