I Hate F/t

I think this is the problem.
I don't think the pinkies are thawed thoroughly.
How are you thawing them?
Are you only giving them 5 minutes to thaw?
If you are just sitting them out for five minutes that won't do it.
Run tap water on hot for several minutes then fill a small dish or bowl with hot water.
drop the pinkie in and give it 10 minutes or more to thaw. This way you know it will thaw thoroughly.
Give your snake a full 10 days from the last regurge and try this.

I agree too. I probably go a little overkill, I fill a plastic cup with really hot water, leave the fuzzy in for 5, change the water, five minutes, and then once more for good measure. I increased it when I moved up a food size, and when I had pinkies I just left it in for 10 minutes. Good luck!

You can dust the f/t pinkie with nutribac as well. You might also try some Grapefruit seed extract in the water. It's available at most health food stores and you use 2-3 drops/ 8 oz. of water. Make sure your tap water is safe for reptiles. My county now uses chloramines to purify and it's deadly to snakes. So, I either thaw in a plastic bag in hot tap water, or heat up purified water in the microwave and thaw directly in that. I have one snake that won't eat the mouse unless it's been thawed directly in very hot water. She wouldn't touch the one that had only been lukewarm thawed in the plastic bag. Heated it briefly in hot water and wham! gone! It could be you aren't thawing and warming the f/t mouse enough and that's causing the regurge. Live mice have an internal body temp of 100-101 Farenheit. Barely warm food doesn't do it for some critters.
