Wont stop constricting food?

[Nathan7004]

My baby ball python wont stop constricting his food, he eats really well on feeding day, but today he wont start swallowing, hes been rolling around and constricting for the past hour almost. Am i going to have to take away his frozen thawed mouse? If so, how do i do so? Im worried about him, what could be happening??

Leave him alone. He will stop when he is ready. No harm cause by over killing a prey!

Is this normal? He just keeps rolling around

He was a bit dehydrated, could this be the problem?

He's a Bumblebee? His wobble is probably effecting him eating but he should be fine. He's probably having issues feeling lined up with the right end to start swallowing so he may take a while to eat.

I can't find the head... Mouse must have hidden it. Therefore mouse but dead yet, I constrict some more. OK, mouse definitely deader now. Still can't find head, getting confused. Maybe I back up a step and try again. OK, here's mouse. Grab, then constrict. Dead yet? I constrict some more, just in case. Ok now to swallow. This smells like the head, I think it is. Hmmm, doesn't go down so easy. Let's look around some more. Still doesn't go down easy... Maybe mouse is still putting up fight. Constrict some more, teach mouse a lesson. Hey, what's this skinny part, maybe that's the head? Hmm, this mouse sure has a long skinny nose. Hard to get teeth around. Difficult... Ok, do-over. Did this constricting part, I think I did that part right, next part is tricky......


... And an hour later, still wrestling the prey around.....
