The vast majority of corn snakessnakes are artificially reared, and the newly hatched corn snakes are mutants through selection. Captive-bred corn snakes feed on small mammals, mainly rodents or lizards. Fish, eggs, and mice should not be fed. Knowing its diet, if you want to raise corn snakes well and don't want corn snakes to get sick, you should also control their diet, otherwise eating too much will cause corn snakes to vomit. If you want to learn about how to prevent corn snakes from vomiting, you can follow us to learn more!

Corn snake vomiting Reason:

Reason 1: Just bought the seedlings. Most of the newly purchased seedlings have been transported long distances or have just been transferred to a new environment. Such snakes are physically weaker and more nervous. It's like a smuggler who has been in a hostile environment for many days, without eating or drinking, suddenly eating a lot, and the weak stomach can't stand it at all, and he will vomit after eating.

Reason 2: There is no rest after eating. A snake that has just finished eating needs rest and temperature to digest the huge food. At this time, you must not get started, and you must not frighten it. Otherwise, it will vomit when it is nervous. Of course, some people will say, I didn't vomit when I got started. I just want to say, if I don't kill someone with one punch, does that mean that I can fight every day in the future, and does it mean that the person being beaten is suitable for being beaten to grow up.

Reason 3: Too much food can also cause corn snakes to vomit.

Reason 4: The temperature is not enough. It takes about 28 degrees for corn to digest food. The higher the temperature, the lower the speed of digestion. Too high or too low may cause vomiting.

Reason 5: Feeding frequency is too high. If the size and frequency of feeding do not meet reasonable standards, it will also cause vomiting. For example, if the feeding is relatively large, it is necessary to give the snake more time to digest and restore gastrointestinal function.

Precautions for vomiting corn snakes:

The reason for not feeding is that the intestines, throat and stomach will become very fragile after the snake vomits. The throat will become very fragile after being eroded by stomach acid due to spitting. The stomach takes away a lot of stomach acid because of the vomit, so it cannot digest food in a short time. If you vomit in the early stage, it will basically have no effect on the intestines. If you vomit in the middle and late stages, it will cause damage to the digestive flora of the intestinal tract, and the digestion and absorption capacity will be weakened. If it is not recovered, it will easily cause enteritis.

Treatment for Corn Snake Vomiting:

A corn snake vomits out most of its stomach acid when it vomits. Because their metabolism is only 1/5 that of the average mammal, it takes a lot of time to replenish these stomach acids. If they vomit too soon after feeding, they will usually vomit again. Continuous vomiting can do a lot of damage. Repeated vomiting is likely unless the problem that caused the first vomiting has been corrected.

How to improve the vomiting of corn snakes:

If the problem causing the vomiting is corrected, wait 7 to 10 days and the snake is not in the shedding stage before the next feeding. If peeling, wait until peeling is complete before feeding. This time the amount of feeding is 20% to 75% smaller than usual. Foods that are too large cannot be digested because the acid content of the stomach drops to the bottom. For juvenile corn snakes that are still eating one pink suckling rat at a time, it is recommended to feed the rat head only once a week for three consecutive weeks. Feed only half of the suckling mice once a week for the next three weeks. By this time, if every meal is fully digested, it is possible to return to normal food intake.
