I'm new here...I joined to ask a question or two and decided to post a couple pictures of Jack. Sorry about the size, these are high res photos but compressing them anymore would be a crime.

Great looking snake and viv. I keep mine in Sterilte tubs on Aspen. So my vivs are about as aesthetically pleasing as rat breeder cages at the pet store. Someday in the near future I've got to get at least a couple of display cages. Your setup is very nice.
 
Thanks, for the comments. I'm glad I can share the pics with people who appreciate them.

This may sound a little 'off' but does anyone have any pictures of corn snake barf? Jack did something the other day that I've since cleaned up...It looked different than his usual, uh...fecal matter, and boy did it smell. From what I've been reading here the corns puke on occasion. After having him for over five years I've never seen Jack do this before so I'm a little concerned.

Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the forum. That is a beautiful snake you have in a beautiful setup. :)

I don't have pictures of a snake regurge but can tell you it looks like a partially digested mouse. Sometimes it is the whole mouse, barely digested, if it is done within a day of eating and if longer time elapsed, it can look like a long slender tube of slimmy partially digested meat - pinkish in color with baby mice and can be pinkish on older mice or somewhat the color of the hair the mouse had - but they are slimmy. There will not be any puddles of liquid with it like there is in a fecal. Hope this helps some.
 
From what I've read and seen here I'm guessing that Jack is an Oketee? Does that seem right to you guys?

Thanks for your help.

Jack is a nice normal. Okeetees are either a locality animal (up for debate) or a normal cornsnake with rich oranges and yellows and thick black saddle borders. Jack doesn't have the colors nor the saddles borders to be classified as an okeetee, but he's a very nice normal in my opinion.

I agree with Joe on this one.

Also, if what you found in Jack's viv smelled REALLY bad then it was probably a regurge. Snake regurges have a distinctive (disgusting) odor. If you are unsure, then you should treat it as a regurge. First check the tank temps to be certain that the heat didn't quit for some reason. Secondly, you should withhold food for at least 10 days in order for his gut to repair itself. Thirdly, you should minimize holding him until he has a normal feeding cycle (without it resulting in a regurge).

This is probably what happened. I had him out shortly after I fed him...he always seems so curious and anxious to come out. I'll give him a break for a couple weeks.

Thanks for the info!!!

Ok, thanks! I've had him for over five years now and only now have I come to learn there were so many variations on the corn snake.
 
as a general rule snakes should be left alone anywhere from atleast 24 hours to 72 hours. I usally let mine rest for 2 days. Good luck!, john
