Exclamation may be offensive to some viewers

hey everyone, this pic shows what happens when snakes don't want their food! lol, these are rat pups that my 3.5 ft red-tail decided he didn't want. i left them in his cage after my 2.5 ft red-tail decided she didn't want to eat.

Could it be because they are lying in poo? Or where they regurged while not taking out the poo?

Just a thought.

Why post pics of dead rats? We've all seen them. What is your point here?

Is that pressure treated 2x4? If those rats are in fact regurged,
you may want to look at your temps-could be to high.
if not what Tim said

Did your snake take a crap on them? I've had that happen before...lol... guess he told me where to go!
On a sidenote, I would avoid offering food that has touched another snake or snake's enclosure (especially since it was refused) to another snake. You never know if a snake might be coming down with something and you do not want to transfer anything to another animal

Kinda funny, rats put in cage to feed, snake dumps on em instead of eating them.

everyone ---> the rats weren't reguritated they came fresh out of the water. secondly they didn't even enter my smaller boa's cage as she didn't even take her mouse (i always give them a live mouse first because they stopped eating frozen on me.....don't worry, i stun the crap out of the mouse first, sometimes i stun it so much i kill it lol)

jenn ----> you got it right, sal was mad at me i guess cuz he wanted out but i didn't take him out, i just tossed the rats in.

p.s. everyone ----> none of my snakes have ever reguritated. so far anyways, i know it can and sometimes does happen to the best of us, i'm just saying so far the haven't.

Ok, they put the f/t rats in the enclosure....In stead of eating them, the boa took a big dump on them........
