Thanks Rob all the help from everyone on here did pay off. but im not going to lie i did get a little scared when Roe was slow eating the belly :( was like ooo no o no just get it down :D i will be posting a photo for after he got it down i never knew that snakes acted like he did after eating a big meal! was like woh... is he go.(but after talking to some people and having them tell me that snakes move around funny and rub there faces on the glass and stuff after eating to let there food go down i feel like i am in the clear!)

Looks to me like she was having a bit more trouble realigning her jaw, but not anything to worry about. Maybe due to having the larger prey ?

It seems like Roe does this everytime he eats.. no matter the size if I rember right Roe did this the last time I feed him the adult white mice as well.
