to big ?
As some may know I have been feeding my ball three small mice. Today I feed him a small rat but it is enormous compared to the mice. Thankfully Bo my ball attacked it real fast I was shocked but its taken h8m for ever to eat it how long should it take?

Re: to big ?
Can you show a pic of the prey item inside the snakes belly?
I'd say that's just about right.

Re: to big ?
Size is just fine. Don't panic. As long as you get the humidity fixed the rest should be fine

Re: to big ?
Yeah I'd say that looks perfect. Leaves a slight bulge.

Re: to big ?
Thanks guys I have to say I was shocked at how fast he attacked it was crazy . All that nervousness over feeding bigger prey (bigger teeth) was for nothing but I was ready to yank the rat out if I needed to. I have to agree he looks so happy( if u believe they feel happiness)!!!!

Re: to big ?
Don't get ready to yank the rat out... Get ready to shove a knife through it's head.
I love all animals and that sounds horrible but I don't play with my snakes health.
It's not worth the risks... Here's what one rat was able to do to a snake...
