Re: pics of my dead corn... ideas?
If he got it down then I don't think it would have gotten stuck trying to regurge.

Re: pics of my dead corn... ideas?
Yea, me too. This whole thing has me scratching my head. I have 21 snakes with 9 of them being corns. They range in size from little 2 month olds to pretty good size 2 year olds and I have never had anything like this happen.

Re: pics of my dead corn... ideas?
even if it was an underlying problem (so not the food size that is to blame) and it turns out that the food was a fuzzy mouse or a smaller rat pup that got confused for a pinkie if I were the OP I would demand an explanation, I have a 5mos old GTP who's been feeding on pinks since birth and s/he has NEVER had a lump that big. In fact she had her first double pink meal last week and the bump STILL wasn't that big

Re: pics of my dead corn... ideas?
Yea, but corns can handle much larger meals in comparison to their girth than most pythons can.

Re: pics of my dead corn... ideas?
Thanks for the kind words and input everyone. Once I find out more, I'll post it here. And I truly appreciate everyone being non-judgmental. Instead of finger pointing, you guys have been supportive and I appreciate that. Being new to this, it's still a learning experience for me.

No problem, that's what we are here for. It's still a learning experience for even the most experienced hobbyist.

Re: pics of my dead corn... ideas?
I think its really awesome that your being so hands on and learning with your son about snakes. Not everybody does that and its refreshing to see it.
Hope your other guys do fine and am waiting to hear about your autopsy

Re: pics of my dead corn... ideas?
The only thing I can think of it's not the food that did it, something caused his stomach to bloat and he died from that. I don't know if that happens w/ snakes, but that would explain the size of the bulge if the food didn't make it.
