You will get more opinions/answers that are accurate from a number of people on here, what if you talk to someone who doesnt have a clue what they are on about

Go on, ask questions as that is what the forum is here for.

^Yeah, or if it's more of a one-on-one problem (you want to get answers right away) you can always try the chat.

im very worried about my snow, all of which is my fault i know. i am well aware, as well as regretful, of the fact that i was underfeeding bob (his name). when i got joe i put them together under close observation for a few days and they were acting fine toward eachother. no aggression, no nothing...most of the time they would be found together under the hides, though i know this is most likley a sign of friendship to them it at the same time is a sign that they are atleaste not trying to eat eachother...bob ate a pinky (quite a large one at that, took him twice as long as normal to get it down) on sunday, july 22...he normaly eats on sat but he didnt seem intrested that day so i fed him sunday...it left quite a large lump in him...on either the 24th, or more likley the 25th he regurged it...after that i split the two into their own tanks...joe is doing just fine...he is quite thick and about 12 inches long...bob is 15 inches long and very slim (from being underfed i know). bob is getting lose skin around the lower section of his body from loss of weight...i tried to feed him a small pinky head today but he had no intrest in it. i figure hes probly still recovering from his regurge. his tank stays around 76-80* throughout the day.

i try not to handle bob much except for last night when i took a few pictures...im planing to try and feed him on wed. aug. 1, that will be 8 days after the regurge. hopefuly he eats...

my question would be has anyone ever gotten themselfs into a problem like this? and if so how did you help your snake get out of it and get back to normal? is there anything spelcial i should be doing that im not doing?

Well first I would say that it is good that you put them in seperate tanks - most people don't house corns together, its not advisable.

As for the snow, I would continue to make sure his temp's in his cage are ok, and wait to feed him again because of the regurge, 8-10 days. Then I would try and feed him a pinky head, or a very small pinky. If he still seems to not be doing well, I would take him to a vet and see if there are any other problems that you don't know about. It will take time for him to recover from everything - just try to leave him alone and keep him as unstressed as possible! Good Luck! I hope things improve!

Hyeah, take a look at reptiledoc's post in the Photo Gallery for proof...

How are you heating his viv? The temps seem a little low to me, if that's the warmest he can get anywhere. He should be able to have a spot that's 85F.

Then, you need to not offer him anything until 8-10 days after the regurge.

It's only one regurge- don't start to panic yet.
