Hello everyone.. I have 3 corns and Cribo.. I've had snakes my whole life and this new development has me stumped. Lincoln is a 2.5 year male corn.. he has always been a solid eater.. Never missed a meal.. so on September 11th he was fed his weekly f/t mouse.. no problem.. just a week prior I purchase a Unicolor Cribo.. ( they were not introduced or housed near each other) so I don't imagine this is the cause. The two pinkies (live) that the Cribo refused to eat were given to Lincoln to eat. Here's were it gets interesting.... About an hour later Lincoln regurgitated both pinkies and the mouse.. He has not eaten since. I've tried all different types of combinations. He is active and has shed this week. I try to feee him every few days.. The only change has been his cage. A couple of days after he regurgitated I put him in his new Vision cage which is much bigger than the 20 long aquarium he was in since a baby.. Could it be the cage ? Weird.. like I said he has always been my best eater.. As of today it's been one month since he eat.. He's healthy so I'm not worried yet but I'm starting to get concerned.. Thanks Christopher

THUG FROG !
:welcome_back_01:
Some snakes will regurge when fed multiple food items. The new cage could be stressing him out. You could be stressing him out trying to get him to eat so often. It could be environmental ( heat gradient). It would be odd for it to be hormonal (breeding mode) this time of year but it could be.
Really can only say it could be to this right now :shrugs:
Was the Cribo fed anything other than pinkies prior to you like fish?
No Issues with the Cribo and the other two corns?
How the cage heated? Got a pic?
Got a pic of the snake?
Weight and length of the snake?
Are any of the other corn snakes female?
It might be a good idea to note on the other thread to use this one.

Thanks for the reply.. there is a female corn in a cage next to him. And no problems with anyone else eating.. Cribo is eating just fine ( as they always do) .. The new cage has a radiant heat panel set at 84' on the hot side .. mid 70's on the cool side. I'll get his weight and length shortly.. cage is A lot bigger than is old one but set up the same. I'll advise the moderator to delete the other post.. thanks again
Mr Lincoln eat 2 day old quail and a fuzzy tonight!! I offered him his usual f/t mouse which he was not interested in.. I placed him in his feeder tank with the items mentioned and covered it with a towel.. Bam! ... not a large meal, but a meal non the less. I'll leave him alone for a few days and hopefully he'll be back to his usual self.. Thanks daddio for your interest..
