Question
hi,have a new baby corn snake bout 2 months old,i left him to settle for a week,and then fed him on a pinky,he regurgitated it and now he is acting very strange,his body is contracting and he keeps on opening his mouth like he has something he needs to get out,cant understand because he brought up the whole pinky.
his tank temp is fine only using aspen bedding,a hide and a water bowel,using bottled water.
cant understand what ive done wrong or is this normal,
please help.
thankyou

Answer
Hi Rebecca,

your corn snake may be seriously unwell, the body contortions may indicate a neurological problem or a serious bacterial infection. in either case you should take your snake straight to a vet to get checked out.

i wish you and your snake the best of luck,

Andy
