    curious?
    my snake just ate a fuzzie mouse on her own for the first time. it took her a while and the mouse never died she just ate cuz she tried constricting it for about 10 minutes and it never died. so i put her back in the cage and i put her on top of the UTH and she stayed in the hide for a lil bit. when i came back from eating dinner and she moved to the cool side and is in that hide. should i move her to the hot side so she can digest her food or just leave her be?

    Leave her be. If your ambient temps are correct, they can digest properly, it may just take a little longer than if the snake was on the UTH.

    Mine will only eat on the cool side, and will stay there until he's digested. Your ambient temp is fine, so if she thought she needed the extra heat she would have remained on the uth. Nothing to worry about.

    Leave her be, she knows how to thermoregulate herself better than you do :)

    Yup I agree with them leave her be, she will regurge if you move her. She will be where she wants to be. :colbert:
