Hopefully the mouse he ate didn't carry any parasites, though.

Make sure to keep stress levels down while its digesting. Might be bad if he regurges his huge meal. Damn! What a pig! lol!

Wow, nice widdle piggy! What amazes me is not that the tiny snake was able to get the mouse down, but that the tiny snake was able to constrict with enough force to kill the mouse! Never underestimate the strength of corn snakes!

I'll 2nd Ken's comments. Taking down prey that size could have been a life or death struggle either way. Obviously the strong shall survive eh! Most people worry about neonate escapee Corns starving to death. No worries with that little one obviously, LOL Mark I.
