Bulge in stomach 1 week??

I noticed this last weekend. she was fed Thursday and Saturday she regurgitated the rat, slightly digested. Today she passed what looked to me some bone like matter but runny. Not sure what to do here.

I'd say take whatever she passed to the vet to see if it's some sort of parasite.

A vet visit is in order i would say. Do you feed her in the enclosure,if so is she on some sort of loose substrate? This is a really really rough guess but maybe impaction from too much ingested substrate during feeding. They will usually have lumps due to the blockage,regurgitate the food being there is no where for it to fully exit,and lastly the poop a runny/watery half digested poop,that they literally have a hard time passing.

I may be wrong,just though i give you my thought and hopefully she gets better make sure to keep us updated on how this goes.

Temps?

Humidity?

Frequency of feedings and what are you offering?

Being bred?

I have newspaper for substrate, im not sure where the nearest vet that deals with reptiles is from me.

Temp 79.6 humidity 58 12day large rat no breeding ever

How big is the snake?

How often are you feeding?

did you handel the snake after feeding ?

That is not normal. There is an obstruction and it's preventing the snake from processing food. I would really take it to the vet. Maybe an abscess or something but it really needs to be looked at.
