How long after a baby corn snake regurgitates do i feed him again? Because hes looking awfully thin  he regurgitated because the pinkie I gave him was too big

I may not have been the pinky, it could be down to many reasons thats you mentioned in your first post, like the fact the 2 corns are sharing a tank, and the heating is not right.
Do you know for sure which one regurged?
Ideally leave 10 days, no handling during this time at all.

Yeah I know which one it was and they've both been eating fine before that. I knew the pinkie i gave him might have been too big and it was. I just fed the other one now, Hes fine, and just checked to see If the other one was ok, because you can't help but worry when your snake regurgitates. The heating is right, I have thermometers either side with a 10 degree difference, It was the heating bill that was the problem, so i was looking for a cheaper alternative  |

| As Lou has said this is one of issues of co habiting when something happens u don't know which one it was like regurge poo etc also it makes it harder to work out why it happened. Co habiting on it's own is enough to make a snake regurge if it's not happy even if your husbandry is good |

The general rule with a regurge is not to feed or handle for ten days to give the gut time to recover and build up it's natural chemicals, enzymes etc before another meal is offered. It really isn't a long time in the snake world, they can go a long time without food. Also give the smallest pinkies you can for a few feeds following a regurge.
For the snakes sake, and yours, I hope it isn't down to the stress that cohabiting can cause.

it's highly unlikely the regurge was due to an over-sized food item.......if it's able to go down it'll stay down
i'm guessing it's a husbandry issue
