Not going on hot side

So just wondering after my corn snake eats she always goes under her water bowl and after about ten hours the lump is gone I know I'm feeding the right size not to small can't figure out how disgusting so fast if don't go on hot side I can't find anything to show she puked it up guess sorta to questions why would go to cool side and why is lump gone so fast hot side is 86 so no it's not too hot I got six corn snakes I know what I'm doing this is just only one that does this so just thought id ask
 
Is this a hatchling? They digest amazingly fast. Lots of snakes love to go under the water bowl. I wouldn't worry about it.
 
I can second that. My corn (just moved to fuzzies) right after eating he has a real nice bulge but it disappears fast. I'm no veteran keeper but I see my snake is growing and is in good health. That's what I'd look for.
 
Yeah dougman that's what I'm thinking to cause she looks fine I weigh her and she's moving up she's about 18 grams now. So she's on two pinkies I'm just feeding her a big pinkie still tho but I think after last night feeding I'm gonna go to two. I just feel like it's puking and hiding it from me lol but yeah I'm not gonna worry until it starts to look like this snake I saw in a pet store was a baby corn snake and it was so skinny and just didn't look good at all cause I guess it kept throwing up of course I won't wait that long I'll get her to vet first sign of anything guess will see.
 
2 pinks should be no problem. You would be surprised how much they can handle. Here's the chart I use for my snake

-When they're on single pinks (2-3g), I feed every 5-6 days. (Snake = 4-15g)
-Double pinks (3g x 2) every 5-6 days. (Snake = 16-23g)
-Small fuzzies (5-7g) every 6-7 days. (Snake = 24-30g)
-Regular fuzzies (7-9g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 30-50g)
-Hoppers (9-12g) every 6-7 days (Snake = 51-90g)
-Weaned (14-20g) every 7 days (Snake = 91-170g)
-Adult (20-30g) every 7-x days (Snake = 170+) See below.
 
Note: Adult females are fed more frequently than adult males (especially following brumation). Adult females are fed every 7-12 days; adult males are fed every 11-14 days.
 
Yeah I know that chart it was actually proven by a breeder that it may not be the best way it's certainly not a bad way at all but I found out few better ways
