Regurged pinkies

It could have been a case of overeating, I'll try feeding her a single pinky if she doesn't take the fish later today.

Have you tried replenishing it's electrolytes before trying to feed it again? It might do the trick.

How would you suggest doing this?

How would you suggest doing this?

a good old poweraid bath, dilute the poweraid to about 10 parts water to 1 part poweraid and let it have a nice drink and swim. poweraid is packed with electrolytes. they tend to like the blue one though )

I thought you were suggesting Poweraid. I've read about giving snakes Poweraid, but never done it myself.

I add this to my snakes water bowls, it also has electrolytes.

The beauty of poweraid baths is whatever poweraid you don't use you can drink lol

Similar to the water conditioner I use for my fish, although that doesn't have electrolytes. Poweraid sounds like a reasonable option for a quick fix.

Cee Cee will definitely overeat if I let her....the girl has been known to knock back five small pinks in a feeding. I have to make sure to cut her off before she overeats. I have never seen her regurgitate food though...only water and mucous. Something odd is definitely going on with the whole partially digested pinky thing, Chris. Greg's thoughts about the gut flora are worth considering. I would still consider calling the vet...this is a very odd situation. Please keep us posted.

Poweraid is fantastic for rehydrating snakes. I think they should add a 'for snakes' slogan on the side of the bottle. The only thing in regards to the pink not being that digested after 3 days would be if your snake spent the majority of its time in the cool end of the enclosure after taking the meal as that could slow the digestive process maybe. Thats a stab in the dark though. I hope all gets well soon though.

That's an interesting theory....about spending time in the cool end and slowing the digestive process.
