Yesterday I found a little pool of brown sludge with a little bit of a pinky in it and all around the sludge was wet with some sort of water like liquid. This was in my my 8 month old Stimsons click clack (could have been thrown up a day ealier as I wasn't around then). Fed her on Saturday night and handled her on Sunday night though it would be ok could see no buldge (a dumb move on my part I hear some people say 24 hours and some 48 hours to wait after feeding). Also I had recently moved her into my room as the study was no longer usable.
I'm using a heat mat with thermostat hot end is 33 cold is room temp. Changed her water every 2 days. I have read not to feed her for a fortnight then gradually wean her back on to larger meals starting with about 1/4 of the usual feed as all the acids from her stomach have come out in the vomit.
There are not any herp vets nearby what is the best thing I can do for my snake.
Thx guys.
 
If it only regurgitated once, give it some rest and feed it a small meal in 6-7 days. If he/she regurgitates again, find a vet and treat the snake with Flagyl. It usually helps unless there is some more sinister problem.
 
Ok thanks waterrat. I have a feeling that everything will work out.
