I know there is a search function, laptop is broke getting new one soon. Im on tapatalk an app for forums. I woke up about an around 730 turned on diamonds light checked on her and headed to the store. When i got back i git her out for a few mins live her already ( got her yesterday shes like 2 minthes old 12 in? ) but she regurged her pinky she was fed before i got her. What do i do feed her today? Or should i be concerned? Or is it because of a new habitat she was in a little critter thing now in a 10 gal got hides and retibark ( i plan on getting the wood shavings everyone uses here just the stupid guy at the store said this is good i didnt buy her at a store ) heat lamp for day and bottom heater for night but that sucker gets hott and she burrowed this morning when i out her back thank godd that it was on the cool end but where the bottom heater is she would have burned herself so what can i do about that the heater is just a plug and heat no temp control sorry for the just rambling and no .... Ect just dont want her to get burned and figure out what to do asap.....well ill take her out right now and put her in her feeder critter cage for now....thanks in advance

I'm sorry to hear that Diamond regurgitated. I can offer you a couple places to look for resources. The first is the regurge protocol, linked HERE

I also see that you just got her yesterday. When you get a new snake, they should have several days with no interferance to acclimate to their new environment. This means no handling or feeding. Also, after a corn snake eats, you should not handle them for at least 24 hours to avoid a regurge and allow the to digest.

Also, corn snakes do not really need a heat lamp, just an under tank heater to create a gradient. The UTH should be controlled with a thermostat. HERE is a good one that is relatively inexpensive. An unregulated UTH can be very dangerous, so I would recommend getting a thermostat ASAP.
 
I have a themostat the glass is near 101 degrees the substrate 85 ish so what can i do in the meantime to keep her off the glass to prevent burning maybe repticarpet? Its just the glass that too hott...ill get a temp control one but in the meantime idk what to about it. Thanks for the info too really appreciate it. I knew joining here was the best thing i could do.

So 8-10 days before feeding her the pinky. I only held her for about 10 min but i bet that and new enviroment plus the drive is what caused it. That won't happen again i couldnt help it shes gorgeous and i love her already but now i know i feel bad though. I know they don't have emotions but if she could she would probably be mad at me for that. Ya thanks again though its just 8-10 days seems like a long time thats almost 3 weeks of no food 😥

For one, it's way too hot. You want the desired temp at the glass, not on top of the substrate. Take out the heat lamp, if you have an UTH. That's too much heat.
Also, as mentioned, you should leave a new snake (especially babies) alone after getting them for a week. You cannot control that they were fed before you got her, but that makes it more essential to leave her alone.
The regurge was likely due to excess heat and too much handling.

Follow the regurge protocol to a "T", and adjust your temps.

I hope that she does well for you.
 
Ok will do changed the bulb and put newspaper under the substrate...now its perfect 85 on hott end 73 to 79 on on cool end ill feed her in 8 to 10 days from now...thanks alot i hope i didnt stress her too much more i was quick and she stayed coiled up for the most part now shes chilling in her hide...so ill leave her alone until its time to feed thanks again
