    Re: only vomits when ate pinkies

    he may be going into shed
    a lot of soaking can also indicate mites
    if you see tiny black specks floating in the water bowl, it's the latter

    I think you need to give him mite treatment
    there've been a few discussions on mites and how to get rid of them:

    http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/husb...elp-mites.html
    http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/urge...978-mites.html

    many of my snakes stopped eating when they had mites and I think it affects their ability to digest properly
    I hope this helps
    and good luck

    no i wouldnt do that, first i would deal with the mites and then give his systems a little while to heal then try feeding him again
