Are you feeding live or frozen/thawed pinkies?

Also has she ever kept a meal down or has she regurgitated everything she's ever eaten?

yes she ate a small thawed pinky and kept it down but this time it was live and bigger pinky so im guessing it was too big for her ???

It may have been too large, as you say.

I must say right now that I am not currently keeping cornsnakes, and I hope someone with more cornsnake experience than me will chime in, but in the meantime I'll offer what I can....

My baby Fiji Boas will either refuse, or sometimes accept and then regurgitate, a food item that is too large. It has happened to me a couple of times, and then within about 12 hours (once within 10 minutes) of swallowing it. If you think it may be that, wait a day or so and try a smaller food animal.

However if it's persistent regurgitation with no obvious reason, or it's happening a long time after it feeds, I'd say it's time for a vet visit. I'd also take samples of any droppings, as it could be an intestinal parasite.

Also post as many details as you can - age of snake, feeding history, temperature and humidity in tank, anything you can think of - it will help people give better advice.

And don't panic - missing a couple of feeds won't kill her as long as she was feeding before!

Also there is a little feeding advice in this thread:

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ad.php?t=99971

And I found this advice re prey size in another thread specifically on cornsnakes:

Only feed your snake once every 7 days a prey item that is the same size or a little bigger than the thickest part of your snakes body.

Do keep posting, I'd like to know how it goes, and I'm sure eventually someone else will chime in. Good luck!
