Alright, totally freaking out on this one. Might be okay, but want to make sure. I told everyone I got some new snakes and that they were bigger than what I was expecting. Well, I figured I should get some small rats because rat pups looked like they would be too small. I got home and and kind of held the bag beside the snakes to see if they were of appropriate size. They looked slightly on the big size, but similar in girth to the snake. I got them prepared and fed them to both my fire and bumblebee. Both struck almost immediately, which I took to be a good sign. However, it was short lived. The bumblebee spit the thing out, which wasn't entirely unexpected, but once it was skin-to-scale with the snake, it looked way to big. I took it out for fear of the snake trying to eat it and hurting itself. My fire, on the other hand, would not let go and eventually swallowed it all. She is my largest snake, but now, she looks very bloated, and I am worried. Does she look like it was an over sized meal? I'm including a picture of her for comparison. I may be overreacted, but this is the first time I've fed any snake something so large.
