Remember not to offer her any food for at least 10 days.
If she has brought it back up she'll need a bit of time for her stomach to settle and build back up to full working order.

I personally would get her back to the shop.
The shop shouldn't have sold you someone elses snake that they KNEW was a non-feeder, AND they shouldn't have then told you to keep it really.

i'd have to agree


I took on a non-feeder... got her eating eventually and all is well now but it took over 8 months and help from a local rep shop HOWEVER

with you saying it ate the pinky and then regurged it, that's not so good -there may be actual physical issues as well... normally a fussy one will just eat one day and that's it... but it much be very hard for you as you get attached to the lil things :(

but very naughty of the pet shop to just say you can keep it - they should have just asked you to bring it back - suggesting you keep it isn't the best idea especially if it is someone elses - bit odd!
