Rat too large
I gave my young female bull snake a small rat today. She immediately took it, but after getting it about 90% swallowed apparently realized/decided it was too large and spit it back out. The rat was rather slimy with saliva, so I rinsed it off in the sink and gave it to the Dumeril's. My question is how long to wait before feeding the bull snake again? Since it wasn't actually swallowed and started on the digestion process should it be treated like a regurge, or offer her another meal next week, or even sooner?
