regurgitation

Is she active, or is she in hiding? Has she ever shed since you got her?

I would only attempt to feed her after dark, not during daylight.

It's only been four days since her last meal, right? And she didn't refuse last time, she just only wanted to eat one piece.
 
She is not hidding alot but most of the time she is sleeping. I feed her 5 days ago. I will try feeding her after dark next time. Should i do that tonight or wait 5 days now that i tryed feeding her already today. She did eat 1/3 of a pink last time. Also today i noticed darker areas on her belly like she didn't poo everything out yet. I tryed taking pics but it doesn't show in the pictures.
 
I don't think it would hurt to try tonight, and then if she won't eat, wait five days.

Sometimes on small snakes you can see internal organs such as the heart and liver, because their bellies are somewhat transparent.
 
Last night Candy still didn't eat. So i'll wait 5 days and try agian. Is there something i can do to get her to eat?
 
I don't think you have to worry about her not eating- I mean, I think she is refusing for a good reason, such as being about to enter a shedding period. Just observe her now and see if she has gone into hiding. In five days, try again. We'll know more about her shed status then. A previously reliable feeder, skipping one meal, isn't a cause for concern, (aside from you being worried about her weight since she is on reduced meals) and not soon enough to start messing around with any "tricks" to get her to eat. If a snake refuses because it is blue (or direly ill) then scenting, etc. aren't going to help.
 
I just came home today and Candy had passed away. I picked her up and the black in her belly was alot darker and green. so i don't know what happend. Anyways thx for all the help anyways. i'm going to see if i can get an other one. here is a pic of her belly but the pic is blurry. if anyone knows what it is please let me know.

Oh no! I'm so sorry. That green is just something that happened after she died. Well- don't give up. Sterilize everything, try again. Some hatchlings just aren't meant to make it. You went above and beyond what most people would do. It might be best to start with a slightly older snake if you can find one. The hatchling stage is so fragile. I'm sorry.
 
Aw too bad :( The green is bile that leaked from the bile blatter, I have read somewhere. That just happens after snake dies sometimes indeed.
 
thx again everyone. I won't give up. I'll post up pictures of our new baby when we get him/her. I already sterilized the viv for an other corn tomorow :). Thx again for all the help.
 
Still sad that Candy is gone but I'm happier now that i got a new addition.
So here is my new addition everyone.

Thx but now i have bad news. Buddy just got home yesterday and i put him in his viv and I was going to leave him alone for a week then feed him, then wait 48 hours, then start to hadle him. Now that just went out the window because he regurged :(. I know the temps are correct but i'm assuming it's from the stress from going from the store to my house and getting use to his enviroment. Should i fallow the protocal agian like last time?
 
Same pet store as where Candy came from? Would return this guy to them ask for refund then... of course it could be from stress but better safe then sorry...
