Re: Too big?
He'll take a little longer to digest it and probably hang out in the warmer area more but if it went down it's probably fine. Generally you look at the body like mentioned and not the head but there are a few species that don't tolerate as large of meals in captivity as they might resort to in the wild or can swallow. Rosy boa are known to regurgitate easy and many feed 2 smaller mice instead of 1 adult. Now that she's no longer starving my adult refuses to eat over a hopper when she ate a near grown gerbil which is bigger than a mouse. Corn snakes are not usually as picky and should be fine. It just takes longer to wiggle down and then digest.
