Regurg

In the past two weeks I have had 3 of my yearling corn snakes regurg. I had upped the food size a little, but I had seen them eat this size in the past. I usually try larger food items and then go back to the smaller size a few times to be sure they can handle it. Anyway, I had also lowered the heat a bit for these snakes also recently. Is it more likely for a snake to regurg with lower or higher temps. I still have them in the mid to upper 70's in the warm spot. Usually i keep them around 80 for the younger ones.
 
Size of prey

I had moved one snake from hopper to small mouse size and the other two were moved up from large pinky to small hopper size. The two smaller snakes had had larger prey before though.
 
They need to be ept in the 80's on your warm side and 70's for the cool side so low temps are probably your issue. You need to follow the regurge protocol and not feed again for 8-10 days. The first meal after this time needs to be small lie a quarter of what a normal meal is normally. If they are on pinks than start bac with a pinks head and work your way back to a whole over several non regurged meals:)
