Feeder rat too large?

[kl92]

Alright, well my BP has been devouring live rats the past two weeks-as per his owner, he will ONLY eat live, I know that F/T is recommended. Well, I goto get his feeder this week and ask for the same size as always. The guy gives it to me in a brown paper bag, and as usual I open the bag and drop the rat in the enclosure. Surprise, the rat is far bigger than usual. He has killed the rat and is currently in the process of eating it, although it is difficult for him more so than usual. I am certainly not inclined to attempt to take it from him while the rat is already a quarter of the way inside him. My question is, if the rat is indeed to big, will he give up, or swallow it? And if it is too big, will he vomit it back up? I feel like an idiot for asking but I am completely inexperienced with snakes and have no idea what to do. The rat is slightly larger than him at his widest point.

If it's only a little bigger than his widest part he should be just fine. It'll just take him a little longer to get down.

, I know that F/T is recommended.

Are you trying to start a fist fight on here LOL. As was said as long as it is not insanely over-sized aka feeding a jumbo rat to a 500 g snake you should be fine. When I feed meals a little to big I just bump up the temps a bit and go on as if it was normal.

I'm confused. Is this your snake, or not your snake?

Meant to say previous owner. A friend left him at my house a month ago

Resolution of the story is that the snake did not eat the rat, so I took it out of there. Snake seems fine, so I will retry feeding in a few days.
