Question
Hi there my corn snake keeps spitting out food, it's about one year old and eats hoppers. Up until recently it ate well then for almost a month nothing then ate again, upon the second feeding after this it started spitting out the food. I'm worried because my boa died a week after spitting out its food less than a week ago. Please help!

Answer
Samuel,
  You have good reason to worry. Now as my profile says, I am not a vet so I cannot diganose your problem. I do not know what is medically wrong with the snake. However, I have experienced the same thing. If they start throwing up a lot, death usually follows. My advise is to get the snake to a vet and find out the problem ASAP.
