    Ball Python Feeding Question

    We fed murphy a pretty decent sized meal, about herwidth, but it seemed lke a particularly long rodent (small rat). She's been digesting for two full days and still feels kind of stiff... does this just mean she needs a bit longer to digest? Temps are 80-92, humidity is 45-55%, have not handled her since feeding, no feces, no vom.

    Re: Ball Python Feeding Question

    My guy felt pretty "full" even after 2 days of digesting. After another day or two of digesting, maybe some poopage and he should be fine. I'm not really experienced with snake keeping/health care, so hopefully a more experienced member can help you more.
