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.

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

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...
