Everglades Rat Snake Regurg

Hi All!

I have a pair of scaleless Everglades, and over all they are my heartiest (and feistiest) snakes. However, last night we had a MAJOR temperature drop, and I didn't discover until this morning that the night-light over my female's cage had gone out.

I fed her yesterday evening (before I knew we were going to have the cold snap) at about 7:00pm. The cold snap happened sometime around 8 or 9 pm (I think). At 7:30am while checking my snakes I discovered the regurgitated hopper in her cage.

This is the first time I have ever had a snake regurgitate, even though I have read about it happening to others and seen pictures. The fuzzie she "threw up" wasn't at all what I expected a regurge to look like. It wasn't at all digested, it just looked like it's fur had been "slicked-back".

In any case, I have read quite a few threads about regurgitation protocols, and I have seen some mixed messages in a few of them.

I was hoping someone with more experience in this area might give me some advice as to how I should proceed. The snake seems fine, she is active and was crawling around her cage "hunting" throught the day today, but everything I have read says to wait 7-8 days before I feed her again, and when I do feed her to give her a pinkie. Is that accurate for a yearling snake...?

Thanks in Advance!
