Hi. I have a corn snake that is around 14 inches. The pet store said she is 4 months old but who can trust the pet store. My problem is I fed her 1 pinkie in a different feeding tank than she is used to and she got stressed out after she ate it. That was on saturday. On sunday there was a little regurge just a small pile of goo. On monday she throw up the whole mouse and since then to now she is in a hide on the cool side and wont come out. I know that I shouldn't touch her for 7 to 10 days, but I moved the hide to see if she was still alive. I picked her up with no problem which is not like her. She usually runs away from me. When I went to get her she just laid there. And she will only stay on the cool side. She never goes to the warm side which is 85-90 degrees. She is usually very active running all around her tank.
Any advice is welcomed. Should I take her to a vet?
Thank you in advance,
Cheryl

How long have you had this snake and how often have you fed it. Or is this the first time its been fed by you? If it was just a single regurge and the snake was acting normally otherwise I would say wait a couple of weeks and try to feed again. However regurging 2 days in a row and then acting listless doesn't sound good. A sudden behavior change in a snake is a red flag.
I would suggest a vet trip.

The fact that she regurged twice in two days concerns me. I would definately see the vet and take a fresh fecal sample to be checked for parasites. However if you don't have one available the vet can go in and get one. I would suggest this done as soon as possible.

Hi sorry that I did not respond sooner. I have been busy, but I wanted to let everyone know that cynda is doing better. She shed and last night I feed her a small frozen pink. She ate it and so far no regurge. I am not sure why she got sick but I think she was going into her shed cycle. I didn't know because she never came out of her hide. Although the water was going quickly. She is back to herself out and about looking for food. I will feed her again on wednesday. I had a hard time finding frozen pinks is there a place online where I can get them? I went to every pet store I could find everyone sells live. Live causes her to much stress. Anyway thanks for responding.

is it possible for you to call the pet store ahead of time and have them freeze some pinkies for you? i know the pet store I used to work at does that. we used to get calls for them so we started telling everyone who needed them to call ahead and let us know so they would be ready. or we would order them from our breeder who would freeze them then bring them to us so we could put them in a freezer until the customer came to pick them up.

Yes but unless you are buying in quantity the shipping is going to really add to the price.
