 If I were you I think i might be tempted to bump the hot-spot temperature back up, Lori, as long as Desdemona can get away to a cooler area if she wants to.

Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
Hi Lori, I would guess it was just alittle too much for her little system to handle at once. I would wait a good week to 10 days before trying to feed her again. Regurging upsets their stomach/throat a bit, so she needs a little time off. Then just give one at a time. I wouldnt worry too much.
Would hurt to bump up to 85 degrees or so basking temp. |

Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
THANK YOU guys!!!!!!! She is very mobile this morning, cruising the tank. The third one appears to have stayed down, so that's good. I am slowly warming her basking spot back up to 85. I'll wait till next weekend to offer her one pinky. Poor girl!! She's really having a rough start of it!!
Thanks so much for the help!! :-) |

Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
I have one snake who I have to regulate its feeding away from the others, for some reason, she eats everything very fast, then brings half or more back up a few days later, and as you say, it really is not nice then! Although she still seems hungary, I only feed her what I think she should be eating in one go, its trial and error, but I think I have it about right now.

Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
It's great that she ate and that the last one stayed down
 Here's an article about regurgitation: http://www.thamnophis.com/caresheets...=Regurgitation But I'd say that it was probably a to big meal after she had not eaten for a long time... Good that you checked the temperature and like said, offer her 1 pinky and you can make the time a little shorter between feedings. If it goes without problems, you can go for 2 pinkies. I hope she'll be a good eater from now on and that she'll take thawed pinkies.

Re: Kingsnake keepers-- a little help please???
Ok everyone! Yesterday was 10 days since she'd regurged. She's been very active all week and she even shed!!! Her first shed with me!!! And it was perfect. So anyway, yesterday I bought one small live pinkie and she absolutely DEVOURED it in a snap.
SO... everyone cross your fingers, toes, and boobies (that's for the ladies) that she keeps it down and we are well on our way to a full feeding snake!!!!!
